I suspected as much, but never verified. I suppose if a server is specified the DHCP provided server is not used.
I just tried an experiment. I removed the NTP server config from my notebook computer. I then fired up Wireshark on the notebook and desktop computers to watch NTP. I also verified DHCP was providing a NTP server address to my notebook. I have seen a few NTP transactions on my desktop system, but none on my notebook. Both are running openSUSE 13.1, with static config on the desktop and network manager on the notebook. So, it appears openSUSE 13.1 is ignoring the NTP server addresses provided by DHCP.
Certainly possible :-) - the sysVinit NTP start-up script had some functions for adding and removed time-servers. I don't rely on DHCP supplying the NTP server address either, that's a per-box config job. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (31.5°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
