From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10 Description of problem: /sbin/dhclient-script sets the driftfile in /etc/ntp.conf to an incorrect location (/etc/ntp/data/drift) generating much noise in /var/log/messages. It should IMHO be set to /var/lib/ntp/drift Pretty identical to bug: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=105893 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dhclient-3.0pl2-6.14.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Get a ip via a dhcp lease that has NTP info 2. 3. Additional info:
This is a known issue ( bug #131733 ), that is fixed in dhcp-3.0.1rc12+ and in current version of dhcp : dhcp-3.0.1-7. dhcp-3.0.1-7+ will not be available for RHEL-3 until Update 4. Meanwhile, you can get the RPMS for dhcp-3.0.1-6 compiled for RHEL-3 at: http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/DHCP/RHEL-3/ or you can download the latest source RPM: ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com:/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/dhcp-3.0.1-7.src.rpm and build it with: $ rpmbuild --rebuild dhcp-3.0.1-7.src.rpm and install the resulting rpms in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS .
