Yes this affect a standard installation. The keys and the entries in the ntp.conf will be generated by the post install script of ntp an will be used for the run time configuration of ntpd. For example to add the ntp servers provided by the ntp server.
Yes, but what is the impact? - Will it make LHC destroy the universe? - Will booting freeze? - Will anything else freeze? - Will it act as if ntpd did not run? - Will netconfig be broken? How much of it? I think it should be fixed in the %post script of ntpd.rpm. Currently goes like this: # Create ntp.keys file if [ ! -f /etc/ntp.keys ]; then ... > /etc/ntp.keys fi # Are we in update mode? if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/ntp ]; then ... # some conversions from previous releases grep -q '^keys /etc/ntp.keys' /etc/ntp.conf || { echo "# # Authentication stuff # keys /etc/ntp.keys # path for keys file trustedkey 1 # define trusted keys requestkey 1 # key (7) for accessing server variables # controlkey 15 # key (6) for accessing server variables " >> /etc/ntp.conf } fi IMO it is enough to make the last echo unconditional. Yes, preferably this would be handled by YaST but currently it does not handle keys at all so I'd prefer to keep it in this one place. Peter, OK? If not, reassign back. -- 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.
