Description yves 2002-07-04 10:12:00 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020606

Description of problem:
When the NTP option is checked in dateconfig's GUI, and a server is entered, the
tool appropriately adds the "server" entry for that given hostname, but fails to
add a "restrict" entry for that same hostname.

Given the default config that comes with the latest package for NTP, which
includes a "restrict default ignore", a "restrict" definitely needs to be added
for the synchronization to occur.

In it's current state, dateconfig fails to successfully configure the specified
NTP server.


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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run dateconfig
2. Enter appropriate settings and OK it
3. Check /etc/ntp.conf... no "restrict" entry for the specified server


Actual Results:  Either by looking at the logfile, or doing a "ntpdc localhost"
followed by a "peers" command, or finally by running "ntpd -ddd", it's very
clear, especially in the latter, that ntpd is dropping the response due to ACL
restrictions

Expected Results:  ntpd should have accepted the repsonse from the NTP server
and start synching itself to that server
