Description of problem: When ipa-server-install or ipa-replica-install or ipa-client-install is run, it changes ntp.conf and add custom NTP pool servers & remove existing servers. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ipa-server-3.0.0 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: Setup /etc/ntp.conf Install ipa-server-install Actual results: It will change existing values of /etc/ntp.conf Expected results: It should by default run as no ntp or should not change the value of existing servers, Just add below required parameter in ntp.conf fudge 127.127.1.0 Additional info: The change that the ipa-server-install forces is to point towards redhat's NTP servers, but that is a "default out of the box configuration" any way on any RHEL box. Why force that change on that manage their own NTP? And those that don't manage their own NTP, well they would already be pointing to RHEL NTP pool.
May be done together with #3789.
David already investigated some ntp.conf cases.
