Hi *,
I tried to understand the relation between chrony, timedatectl, dhcp and NetworkManager on my Tumbleweed notebook.
timedatectl is used to enable/disable systemd-timesyncd which implements SNTP to periodically poll time server(s). systemd-timesyncd obtains list of servers from static configuration and from systemd-networkd. Whether systemd-networkd requests list of NTP servers from DHCP v4/v6 server is per-interface configurable. See
man timedatectl man timed-timesyncd man systemd.network
If systemd-networkd is not used to manage network, you cannot use DHCP to fetch NTP servers for systemd-timesyncd.
ok, so in this case - not using systemd-networkd, but using dhcp, I have to use chrony, if I want to get ntp servers via dhcp - right? [...]
Timedatectl is not service. Service is systemd-timesyncd.
Of course, my mistake. Bye. Michael. -- Michael Hirmke -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
