Description Thomas Sippel - Dau 2004-03-08 09:35:46 EST

Description of problem: 
  
If a RedHat Enterpse Linux 3 Workstation is configured to  
acquire IP address with dhclient, and the dhcp server provides  
a set of ntp servers in response, and there is no /etc/ntp.conf file,  
the dhclient script (/sbin/dhclient-script) presets a driftfile  
/etc/ntp/data/drift. As the ntp data directory has been moved  
to /var/lib/ntp, this creates frequent messages as the directory  
/etc/ntp/data is no longer created.  
  
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):  
dhclient-3.0pl2-6.14  
ntp-4.1.2-4  
  
How reproducible:Clear from Source code  
  
  
Steps to Reproduce:  
1.Review Source  
2.  
3.  
    
Actual results:  
Frequent messages in /var/log/messages  
  
Expected results:  
Maintenance of driftfile in proper location
