Description Mark S. Mathews 2010-01-23 18:42:40 UTC 
> Description of problem:

There's currently no way to add arguments to the 'server' line that dhclient appends to the /etc/ntp.conf file.

> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

This discussion relates to F12 and rawhide.  Same situation in older releases but the filenames are different.


PROPOSED SOLUTION:

Add an NTPSERVERARGS variable to the statement that appends the server line to /etc/ntpd.conf

For example:
orig:
  echo "server ${s} # added by /sbin/dhclient-script"
mychange:
  echo "server ${s} ${NTPSERVERARGS} # added by /sbin/dhclient-script"

With this ifcfg-ethX (or anything else the dhclient process inherits from) can set the server arguments.

Thanks.
