Description Mike McGrath 2009-04-10 15:04:29 UTC
There doesn't seem to be a way to change the ntp settings for a node.  This an issue for cumulus because RHIT is mandating we pick specific ntp servers to sync from and the fedora defaults pull from a pool of servers.

Actually I think SELinux is preventing dhclient from altering /etc/ntp.conf.  On boot I see an error message about it but haven't looked that closely as what's failing, just that it's trying and failing to alter ntp.conf

Comment 2 Mike McGrath 2009-04-10 21:33:29 UTC
Here's the boot message:

Determining IP information for breth3.../sbin/dhclient-script: line 402: /etc/ntp.conf: Permission denied                                                         
 done.                                                                           
[  OK  ]

interestingly I didn't get the error this time.  Same settings.  Also it did push to the ntp.conf file correctly.

Edits to ntp servers are supported
