 |
|
| On each reboot, my ntp.conf is overwritten with the "default" one that is put in /etc when ntp is emerged. I have saved my ntp.conf to a back up, and have it copied back over the default one, but this is weird behavior. Anyone know what could be overwriting this file? |

| No idea. Try making it read-only; if what's deleting it is running as root, it won't make a difference, but it's worth a try... |

/etc/ntp.conf is overwritten by dhcpcd on startup.
edit /etc/conf.d/net
| Code: | # For DHCP set iface_eth? to "dhcp"
# For passing options to dhcpcd use dhcpcd_eth?
#
iface_eth0="dhcp"
#dhcpcd_eth0="..."
|
to:
| Code: | # For DHCP set iface_eth? to "dhcp"
# For passing options to dhcpcd use dhcpcd_eth?
#
iface_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-N"
|
the "-N" option prevents dhcpcd from overwriting your ntp.conf

As one who just made this change, I can affirm it works just fine. Your ntp.conf can now rest in safety.
