This is useful if you want to see easily if a set of ntp clients are synchronized, using "ntpq -p" on the server. /etc/init.d/ntp ntptimeset (and hence /etc/init.d/ntp start) however does not look at the `noselect' attribute and happily use those servers for initial synchronization, which is at least unexpected and could be a very bad thing Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.add at the beginning of your ntp.conf file a line : 'server 192.168.192.168 noselect' 2.restart ntp using '/etc/init.d/ntp restart' 3./etc/init.d/ntp will tell you it is synchronizing to 192.168.192.168 -- 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.
