That happens through the postinstallation script. For such cronjobs /etc/cron.d/ was created. I would prefere adding a file /etc/cron.d/ntpdate-sync with the following (untested) content: --- 30 * * * * root /usr/bin/ntpdate-sync silent --- There is also no cron daemon installed by default. I also didn't see it as suggestion. 43891 1 sjolley.yp.pm 2014-06-12 14:59:24 +0000 Needs to go to owner for meta networking. 81283 2 richard.purdie 2018-08-09 15:05:38 +0000 This bugzilla doesn't cover meta-openembedded so this shouldn't be filed here.
