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.
