Debian's packaged (ISC) dhclient generates an /etc/ntp.conf.dhcp _from_ the existing /etc/ntp.conf; the only changes are in the server statements. The original ntp.conf is _not_ over-written. Debian's ntp init script will detect and use /etc/ntp.conf.dhcp instead of /etc/ntp.conf -- Steve Kostecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NTP Public Services Project - http://ntp.isc.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
