Package: ntp Version: 1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-1 Severity: normal ntp now takes servers from the dhcp client without asking, and without being overridable. It overwrites servers that were rather deliberately chosen, and there does not seem to be a config option to tell it not to do that. The mere existance of a /etc/ntp.conf.dhcp file that may or may not be stale and out of date after the event of a unclean shutdown is enough to tell ntp via the init.d/ntp script to ignore my own config file.
In the presence of (the default!) *.pool.ntp.org, this is also rather pointless, IMNSHO. If you must include both this and the (broken; see #399905) restart upon dhcp obtaining a new lease, please make it so the admin can disable it by means other than deleting the script, such that they will be preserved over upgrades? -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.3 Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages ntp depends on: ii adduser 3.101 Add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libreadline5 5.2-2 GNU readline and history libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8c-4 SSL shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-22 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii netbase 4.28 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ntp recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
