@Robie thank you for the great explanation. I agree with you that with these extra details my "I'm not sure" should become a "lets not add delta" for this.
I also like the suggested workaround - FYI here is a good summary of how to actually do that: => http://serverfault.com/questions/329596/how-to-override-the-ntp-information-sent-by-dhcp-in-debian Fortunately with the git commits this can easily be removed from the merge. Please let men know if you want me to change and push something. But - waiting for user feedback if we overlook something first. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1129696 Title: Cannot set config file in /etc/default/ntp To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ntp/+bug/1129696/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
