Remove Developer Code Pt. II (NTP Server spam)

Status: Investigating
by ‎06-20-2012 08:12 AM - edited ‎09-10-2012 01:37 AM

As soon as the deviced has booted, it tries to set the internal clock using NTP server 'pool.ntp.org'.
If it cannot resolve/reach this address the device tries to set the clock using '172.19.10.99'.
EVERY FIVE SECONDS.

Please remove this developer code portion and add a possibility to either
 - manually override the default NTP server address
 or
 - to disable clock setting using NTP.

Does it happen every time? only if 'pool.ntp.org' is not resolvable.
