Package: netcfg Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have a working setup to install debian using preseed files. The preseed file is loaded from a https url. The infrastrucure supplies a working NTP server IP address in a dhcp answer. If the bios clock is somewhere in the past (before certificate valid-from timestamp) then the preseed file coul not be loaded. I could verify that the NTP server entry is supplied by checking the udhcpc lease file. I observed the following behaviour: * netcfg is run, ip address was successfully setup, NTP server was stored for later usage in clock-setup * preseed file is fetched * ... more installer modules are run * clock-setup is run, time is fetched from NTP server What should the correct behaviour look like (IMHO): netcfg should setup the system time from NTP if a ntpserver option is supplied. It should not save the time to bios yet, this should be done by clock-setup. If I should aquire some logs, or provide any other information, please let me know.
