Description Martin Kosek 2014-06-11 14:57:48 UTC
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3797

Ntpdate is being slowly deprecated(as of Fedora 20). We should replace time sync using ntpdate with ntpd.

Currently we use ntpdate to sync the time for the KDC prior to client enrollment in ipa-client-install.

Running ntpd with -g option should handle it.

Comment 1 Martin Kosek 2014-06-11 15:23:26 UTC
This request is already fixed in upstream FreeIPA project. Please refer to the linked ticket for additional details and related commits.

Verified on ipa-client-4.1.0-15.el7.x86_64:

[root@beast ~]# systemctl disable chronyd
rm '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/chronyd.service'

[root@beast ~]# ipa-client-install -p $ADMINID -w $ADMINPW -U  --debug
