Bug description:
Ubuntu 9.04, affects the ntpdate binary package
Problem: Using dhcp a file ntpdate.dhcp is created but never used.
By default NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF in /etc/default/ntpdate is set to
"yes". This has the following consequences:
/usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian parses /etc/default/ntpdate and checks for
/etc/ntp.conf.dhcp /etc/ntp.conf /etc/openntpd/ntpd.conf if
NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF is set to yes. By default ntpd is not installed
therefore there is no /etc/ntp.conf.dhcp /etc/ntp.conf or
/etc/openntpd/ntpd.conf. ntpdate-debian then defaults to the
NTPSERVERS set in /etc/default/ntpdate, namely "ntp.ubuntu.com". Only
if NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF is set to "no" there will be a check for
/etc/default/ntpdate.dhcp and consequently the server supplied by dhcp
be used.
I propose to set NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF to "no" by default. If ntpd is
installed, this will override the use of ntpdate and
/etc/ntpd.conf.dhcp and /etc/default/ntpdate.dhcp will both be created
by DHCP anyway, therefore both packages will use the DHCP supplied
servers in any case.
