It looks like the problem is either unresolved or worse now. The network is providing an NTP server via DHCP (according to one of the leases in /var/lib/dhcp3), but there is no ntp.conf.dhcp being created with this information. Beyond that, looking at the "ntp" exit hook for DHCP, the script is still removing all servers manually entered into ntp.conf when it generates ntp.conf.dhcp.
The expected result would be that if you add your own servers to ntp.conf, that they persist in ntp.conf.dhcp, in addition to the servers provided by DHCP. It is very frustrating for a user to manually add servers, only to have them be ignored. If you add servers, they should remain. -- Servers specified in ntp.conf are not carried into ntp.conf.dhcp https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374896 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
