My old router, that was running DD-WRT firmware, bit the dust. The stock
brand router that replaced it doesn't have
the ability to send NTP for clients via DHCP. I'm trying to figure out if
I had drop something into
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*, that'll have the effect of doing
that.
if you are using ntpd and not chrony:
Yes, I am, but I was not asking how to configure ntp.conf, but how to have
dhclient do it for me, with a fake DHCP-provided NTP configuration –
similar how to specifying DOMAIN in ifcfg-* sets the domain in
/etc/resolv.conf, when the network domain does not come from DHCP.
That is, I have an ntp server on my LAN, but the cheap-ass router does not
have the option to set the ntp_servers DHCP options, so that the dhclient
can do it automatically. Manually setting it in /etc/ntp.conf means that it
stays there when the client roams on another network. That's not fatal,
nothing bad will probably happen, but it's still wrong.
After hacking at it, I finally figured out how to do it, it's not directly
supported in ifcfg*, and, of course, none of this appears to be documented
anywhere, but it is doable. For the benefit of anyone looking to do the same
thing, add the following to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0, or
create one if it doesn't exist, with the following:
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/dhcp-${CONNECTION_ID// /_} ] \
. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/dhcp-${CONNECTION_ID// /_} ]
Then, create a dhcp-NAME, where NAME is the same as the ifcfg-NAME
for your network, with the following contents:
new_ntp_servers=timehost.example.com
Or, whatever your LAN NTP server is.
This will be sufficient to harass dhclient into doing this automatically,
when I'm on my LAN.
Fairly certain that this will also work with chrony, and it'll unlikely to
get clobbered by minor updates, at least until NetworkManager/sysconfig
changes drastically.
In case of wired LANs, new_ntp_servers can probably be dropped straight into
ifcfg-eth0, but that'll won't work very well when connected to another
network, so the right way to do it is by configuring dhcpd, which, unlike
the case of a dumb wireless router, is quite doable.

An alternative approach: Don't use the DHCP server in the router, run one from one of your computers. That's what I do. Is your NTP server a standalone computer? If so, you could run it from there. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jan 8 21:40:51 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
