Yes, the information is provided in /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases The relevant option is: "option ntp-servers 192.168.1.1;"
With the .dhcp file you are correct, this is a file with a ntpd configuration with the information provided by dhcp. As to why the ubuntu (and debian for that matter) scripts use this hook, I don't know, but I can imagine there is a certain reason for that. (there are other scripts there too, avahi for example) @creating the .dhcp file: The current script already creates the file, but by using the information from the dhclinet-exit-hooks. It should be possible to use the information from the lease file with minor changes, but the problem as I see it is, that this should be provided out of the box (because it is confusing if the 2 programs behave differently) The problem is, that setting the ntp option in dhclient.conf should be honoured by both dhclient from the command line and network-manager. btw, sorry for the late response, had some problems with my mail setup the last weeks... ** Attachment added: "ntp.conf.dhcp" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18919914/ntp.conf.dhcp -- network-manager not restarting ntp daemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
