Bug Description
Binary package hint: ntp
The NTP package comes with /etc/dhcp3/
However, the default /etc/dhcp3/
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
Note that the "ntp-servers" option is not present here.
The NTP package needs to have code to update the dhclient.conf file to request those servers be delivered, otherwise the DHCP entry hook scripts in /etc/dhcp3/
I suppose an alternative would be to change the default "request" entry in the dhclient package itself, to add the ntp-servers option?
If it's decided that the nis package cannot update dhclient.conf due to packaging rules, then this bug is a duplicate of https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/bugs/ 74164
