#3789 Fix NTP configuration merging and handling
Closed: wontfix 5 years ago Opened 10 years ago by mkosek.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Fedora): Bug 984326

While on IPA clients, we configure /etc/ntp.conf to sync with IPA master it is
configured with. However, on IPA servers we don't overwrite /etc/ntp.conf and we
just update it to run in an NTP server mode. So the original configured servers may be still in (fedora.pool.ntp.org server).

I think we may want to be more consistent in ntp.conf configuration. For example
as with IPA clients as we overwrite /etc/ntp.conf, the following default section 
is not in:

~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Enable public key cryptography.
#crypto

includefile /etc/ntp/crypto/pw
~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am thinking that with clients, we may just want to do the same as with server 
and do not overwrite the ntp.conf and just do the changes we need. This will 
make us more resilient to NTP  default conf changes.

For servers, we should add option --ntp-server to overwrite the NTP server 
configuration in ntp.conf.

See Bugzilla for related conversation.
