My RH 8.0 box is
moved between subnets, and I've manually edited my /etc/ntp.conf file to include
multiple time servers:
[/etc/ntp.conf
snip...]
# --- OUR TIMESERVERS
-----
# or remove the default restrict line
# Permit time synchronization with our time source, but do not
# permit the source to query or modify the service on this system.
# or remove the default restrict line

# restrict
mytrustedtimeserverip mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery
# server mytrustedtimeserverip

# server mytrustedtimeserverip

When my dhclient
renews/changes it's lease, it doesn't seem to change the /etc/ntp.conf file at
all.
What exactly is
happening to your ntp configuration? Is it possible that your DHCP
server's scope is populating the NTP time source settings?

Subject: How to stop dhclient from updating ntp settings...
I have RH9 installed on a Laptop. I move around offices a lot and rely heavily on dhcp. My problem is that the dhclient is continuously changing the settings for the ntp(time server) client settings.
I want to fix the ntp server address and not allow it to change. I have tried setting up a dhclient.conf file in /etc with a supercede element but it doesn't seem to work!
Any ideas...
