One workaround is to add a tab in front of your server/peer lines. This prevents the above-quoted regex from matching.

According to ntp.conf.dhcp, the file is generated based on ntp.conf after any DHCP event occurs. The problem is that, according to the man page, you may specify servers in ntp.conf, but the DHCP hook to generate ntp.conf.dhcp specifically filters out any servers/peers that you specify in ntp.conf. Here is a patch for /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit- hooks.d/ntp to fix the problem: === Beginning of patch === *** ntp.old 2009-05-11 09:40:11.000000000 -0400 --- ntp 2009-05-11 09:40:23.000000000 -0400 *************** *** 40,46 **** echo "server $server iburst" done echo ! sed -r -e '/^ *(server|peer).*$/d' $NTP_CONF ) >>$tmp mv $tmp $NTP_DHCP_CONF --- 40,46 ---- echo "server $server iburst" done echo ! cat $NTP_CONF ) >>$tmp mv $tmp $NTP_DHCP_CONF === End of patch === Ubuntu release: 9.04 Package version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-7ubuntu5 Expected behavior: When a DHCP event happens, ntp.conf.dhcp is regenerated including any servers specified in ntp.conf Actual behavior: When a DHCP event happens, ntp.conf.dhcp is regenerated using only the servers found in the DHCP data, filtering out all server/peer lines from ntp.conf ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 Package: ntp 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-7ubuntu5 ProcEnviron: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= SourcePackage: ntp Uname: Linux 2.6.28-11-generic i686 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/374896/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
