DHCP server on my network supplies list of NTP servers. But I do not want to use them. I prefer different time server. According my research, NetworkManager executes all executable /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/* scripts. If I remove executable bit from /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/ntp.sh, I get the bit again on ntp update/reinstallation. I propose to put /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/ntp.sh into separate sub-package (or to fiddle with %config macro in %files section) to allow administrator to ignore NTP servers provided by DHCP.
The NTP servers provided by dhcp can be ignored by setting PEERNTP=no anywhere in the sourced network scripts (e.g. /etc/sysconfig/network).
I will give a try. Where did you find this option? I could not find in documentation (/usr/share/doc/initscripts-9.34.2/sysconfig.txt).
You can see it in the /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/ntp.sh script. I think it used to be a dhclient option.
I confirm putting this option into /etc/sysconfig/network works. I will reassign this documentation deficiency to initscripts.
Having initscripts be the source of documentation for any package that happens to drop a file in dhclient.d seems inefficient.
