Hi all,
Does anyone know how to setup NTP info via kickstart ? More
specifically, I'd like to do the following on Fedora 10 systems via
the kickstart mechanism:
1) Specify NTP servers (e.g., ntp1.virginia.edu,
ntp2.virginia.edu, ...)
Just use
cat << EOF > /etc/ntp.conf
whatever
you
want
to be in
ntp.conf
EOF
in your %post section
2) Enable / activate NTP -- I.e., What one would get by running
'system-config-time' and clicking the "Enable Network Time Protocol"
box.
chkconfig ntp on
in the %post
I also recommend man chkconfig
I know this stuff can set manually, post-installation, via the
system-config-time route, and that it also can be setup immediately
after a kickstart-based install by setting "firstboot --enable" to
run the Setup Agent upon first reboot (...and then manually entering
the info at that screen.) But seems as though this could be done
at the kickstart level ??
I couldn't find anything on ntp-in-kickstart in the Anaconda
Kickstart reference at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart
or by searching around the web. I naively did the following in a
ks file to modify ntp.conf, but that doesn't actually 'enable' ntp
on the system:
cat >> /etc/ntp.conf <<EOF_ntpconfig
server ntp1.virginia.edu dynamic
server ntp2.virginia.edu dynamic
server ntp3.virginia.edu dynamic
EOF_ntpconfig
Ah, so you have already the answer to Q1 ;-)
