Robie: Yes, changing NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF=no makes everything work, at least when I change it after the node is deployed. I am not aware of how to try this with a preeseed late_command. Do you have instructions for me to attempt this? Will this mean all newly-deployed MAAS nodes get this change?
Below is the output from one of the nodes testing NTP_CONF on and off. It shows the script working correctly and using the NTP servers from DHCP when set to =no. --------------------------------------------- root@sled204n2:~# grep ^NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF= /etc/default/ntpdate NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF=yes root@sled204n2:~# ntpdate-debian 20 Jan 21:37:02 ntpdate[14019]: no server suitable for synchronization found root@sled204n2:~# date Thu Jan 20 21:37:05 UTC 2000 root@sled204n2:~# nano /etc/default/ntpdate root@sled204n2:~# grep ^NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF= /etc/default/ntpdate NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF=no root@sled204n2:~# ntpdate-debian 3 Dec 19:27:26 ntpdate[14027]: step time server 172.31.23.1 offset 437694593.235280 sec root@sled204n2:~# date Tue Dec 3 19:27:31 UTC 2013 root@sled204n2:~# -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1257082 Title: MAAS does not use NTP servers specified in DHCPD options To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1257082/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
