I quote from /usr/share/doc/ntp/README.Debian.gz: """ If DHCP is used to configure the host, and the DHCP server sends information about NTP servers, then this information will be used automatically. This is done by making a copy of /etc/ntp.conf at /etc/ntp.conf.dhcp, replacing the server entries with the information provided by the DHCP server, and restarting the NTP server. In order for this to work, the "ntp-servers" option must be mentioned in the "request" statement in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf. This is not the case in a default installation. A complete configuration might look like this, for example: request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name, netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu, ntp-servers; If you don't like using the NTP servers sent by the DHCP server, this is also the right place to turn off this behavior. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ """ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
