I can confirm this works as expected with the updated dhcpd3-common and -client packages from Jonathan's PPA - the DHCP lease now has the 'ntp- servers' option [1], consequently NTP has picked it up [2].
What else do we need to move this to the next step? --- [1] $ cat /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases lease { interface "eth0"; fixed-address 192.168.20.87; filename "linux-boot/pxelinux.0"; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option time-offset 0; option routers 192.168.20.254; option dhcp-lease-time 604800; option dhcp-message-type 5; option domain-name-servers 192.168.20.2,192.168.20.5; option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.20.2; option dhcp-renewal-time 302400; option ntp-servers 192.168.20.2; option dhcp-rebinding-time 529200; option netbios-name-servers 192.168.20.2; option domain-name "quadrics.com"; renew 2 2009/03/24 10:05:00; rebind 2 2009/03/24 10:05:00; expire 2 2009/03/24 10:05:00; } lease { interface "eth0"; fixed-address 192.168.20.87; filename "linux-boot/pxelinux.0"; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option time-offset 0; option routers 192.168.20.254; option dhcp-lease-time 604800; option dhcp-message-type 5; option domain-name-servers 192.168.20.2,192.168.20.5; option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.20.2; option dhcp-renewal-time 302400; option ntp-servers 192.168.20.2; option dhcp-rebinding-time 529200; option netbios-name-servers 192.168.20.2; option domain-name "quadrics.com"; renew 5 2009/03/27 20:56:54; rebind 1 2009/03/30 13:05:41; expire 2 2009/03/31 10:05:41; } --- [2] $ grep ^server /etc/ntp.conf.dhcp server 192.168.20.2 iburst -- Request ntp-servers by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74164 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dhcp3 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
