in Artful we are migrating away from ifupdown to netplan. Meaning we
will not be using dhcp hooks by default, and only use networkd/network-
manager. I believe networkd has native support to push NTP servers to
timesyncd, and I think networkmanager should natively push ntp servers
direct to timesync too - without using the dhcp hooks. Adding a task for
networkmanager to check this.
Native support in networkmanager would be nice; dhcp hook is thus in
itself is low priority.

Title:
DHCP exit hook for setting systemd-timesyncd NTP servers doesn't work
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in systemd package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
I think it's regression for
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1578663 in
zesty.
1. NTP servers are send via DHCP and seen by NM:
$ nmcli con show connection1 | grep ntp
DHCP4.OPTION[30]: requested_ntp_servers = 1
DHCP4.OPTION[31]: ntp_servers = 80.50.231.226
217.96.29.26 212.160.106.226
2. timesyncd is using hardcoded default NTP server:
$ systemctl -n 200 status systemd-timesyncd.service
* systemd-timesyncd.service - Network Time Synchronization
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service; enabled;

3. There are not other time sync deamons installed:
$ cat
/lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service.d/disable-with-time-daemon.conf
[Unit]
# don't run timesyncd if we have another NTP daemon installed

ls: cannot access '/usr/sbin/openntpd': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access '/usr/sbin/chronyd': No such file or directory

4. There is only one default timesyncd.conf file with default values:
$ sudo find / -iname \*timesync\*
/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf
/etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/systemd-timesyncd.service

5. DHCP hook installed as /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/timesyncd is
not working,
TIMESYNCD_CONF=/run/systemd/timesyncd.conf.d/01-dhclient.conf is not
created.
6. After manually executing steps from hook all works as expected:
$ sudo mkdir -p /run/systemd/timesyncd.conf.d/
$ sudo cat <<EOF >/run/systemd/timesyncd.conf.d/01-dhclient.conf
> [Time]
> NTP=80.50.231.226 217.96.29.26 212.160.106.226
> EOF
$ sudo systemctl try-restart systemd-timesyncd.service
$ sudo systemctl status systemd-timesyncd.service
* systemd-timesyncd.service - Network Time Synchronization
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service; enabled;
vendor preset: enabled)
Drop-In: /lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service.d
`-disable-with-time-daemon.conf

Docs: man:systemd-timesyncd.service(8)

So hook is not triggered and NTP servers configuration not passed from
DHCP/NM to timesyncd.
