Description Dmitri Pal 2012-09-04 12:08:28 EDT

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3048

On client install, ntpdate is called in debug mode (-d), which disables its functionality. This means install will fail if clocks are not synced.

Comment 1 Martin Kosek 2012-09-04 12:35:35 EDT

Fixed upstream:
master: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/changeset/5bcbe1df3719eab06eebd930bef0077c34fc5b38
ipa-3-0: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/changeset/a98def863d03e4d978e63ab42eec570fb3629bf8

Comment 5 Rob Crittenden 2012-12-06 08:48:51 EST

The version banner is printed when the -v (verbose) flag is used. This is expected.

Comment 6 Michael Gregg 2012-12-06 11:48:04 EST

That does seem to be the case. 

Any ideas on how I would be able to detect when ntpdate is called with the debug flag? I am supposed to write a test to check.

Comment 7 Rob Crittenden 2012-12-06 14:14:04 EST

You could modify the system time and see if it gets fixed after ipa-client-install. This wouldn't happen with the debug flag.

Comment 8 Michael Gregg 2012-12-06 18:06:47 EST

That sounds like a good plan. I'll go implement it.
