Hi, a bit of a "me too" post; running stable/squeeze here, and all our machines are without functioning ntp. :-(
The central campus DHCP supplies a couple of campus-hosted ntp servers. This overrides the ones I've set in /etc/ntp.conf. The central campus DHCP servers are all down & who knows when they'll be back. Thus, all our machines are without functioning ntp. :-( rinse and repeat. I don't really trust our infrastructure to have very good uptime, but at least I trust our guys not to be evil as might happen at some rouge ISP. I wouldn't mind if Debian's ntp *added* the DHCP supplied ones to the ones I set in the ntp.conf file, that would be quite nice (perhaps with a switch to ignore the dhcp ones?), but forcibly replacing the ones we've set with ones which happen to be out of our control && flaky does not make for good time(s). for now I'm getting by with a modified dhclient.conf on those machines where it really matters, which is easy enough to do. thanks, Hamish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
