Starting ntpd with no network



Hello

If I start ntpd at a time when the network is down then it synchronises
to itself as expected. However when the network connection is finally
established ntpd does not then start to use the servers which are defined
in ntp.conf. I'm using a recent Mandriva (10.1) which is ntp-4.2.0-10mdk,
is this a bug in ntpd or Mandriva?
