Description of problem: ntpd seems to be started before network is up. This makes it impossible to configure it as a broadcastclient and daemon will not work until it is restarted manually. E.g. ntp log contains | 13 Jul 19:12:11 ntpd[1349]: Unable to listen for broadcasts, no broadcast interfaces available in this case and 'LOCAL' is the only source reported by ntpq -> pe. Only a very small amount of machines have dedicated clock sources; most ones will contact an NTP server of network. 'ntpd' should be started after network hence. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ntp-4.2.6p3-4.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: 100%
This is an ntpd bug that it doesn't try later on interface update. Upstream bug report: http://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1969
fwiw, there are also affected static interfaces (ntpd is started before 'network' service).
The network service is just that NetworkManager is running, not that an actual network connection is available. It would still need to wait for DHCP, IPv6 duplicate address detection, etc.
I do not use NetworkManager but /etc/sysconfig/networking scripts.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
