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file that may or may not be stale and out of date after the event of a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?
