--- Comment #18 from Martin Burnicki
yast there is no need to fix the yast module because i want to drop the ntp.server(s) file(s) and only use the ntp.conf
I've seen this in the latest versions in your home repo (4.2.4p4-36.1).
i have to take a look into code / doc if there is an other way to tell ntp to listen on a new device.
In the meantime I've also made some tests on a laptop with Network Manager. Unfortunately this has not been successful: I've configured 3 pool servers plus the local clock, which is there by default. - If I run "ntpq -p" immediately after reboot then it says: "No association IDs returned". This happens regardless of whether the LAN (cable) is connected during boot, or not. This means there's not even an association for the local clock, which I find quite weird. - After I've run "rcntp restart" the "ntpq -p" billboard shows the local clock, and also the pool servers if the network is already reachable. I've also talked to Frank Kardel who is one of the core developers of NTP. He told me that he would expect the dynamic configuration to work correctly. However, the "dynamic" keyword would be required for the server associations. The "dynamic" keyword had been introduced to workaround some problems which can arise if the NTP daemon starts before the network is up. In the current development version (which will become the next release) that keyword has been obsoleted, and the behaviour introduced with "dynamic" has become the default. According to Frank, the best solution would be to use the routing socket to be able to react on network changes. However, as Frank says, the way routing sockets are implemented under Linux differs strongly from the implentation under other Unix-like systems, so "someone" would have to implement the routing socket support for Linux in ntpd. Anyway, even the "dynamic" keyword used in the stable version 4.2.4p4-63.1 does not seem to help. BTW, I've seen: # ps ax |grep ntp 4549 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntp/ntpd.pid \ -g -u ntp -U 60 -i /var/lib/ntp -c /etc/ntp.conf~ Is it intentional that /etc/ntp.conf~ (a backup file) is used as configuration file?
thanks for your testing!
I'm happy if I can help. I'd also appreciate if NTP runs under Linux without problems. Martin -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
