#4852 ipa-client-install --force-ntpd should stop time services before synching time with ntp server
Closed: wontfix 5 years ago Opened 9 years ago by mkosek.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Fedora): Bug 1180791

Description of problem:
ipa-client-install --force-ntpd stops the current time services (chronyd by
default) after attempting to sync with the ntp server.  This results in syncing
with the ntp server to fail, and leads to an error message that might make the
user think the ntp server is misconfigured.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
freeipa-client-4.1.2-1.fc21


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have any time service (ntpd, chronyd, etc.) running
2. ipa-client-install --forcentpd

Actual results:

When attempting to sync with the ntp server the error "Unable to sync time with
IPA NTP server, assuming the time is in sync. Please check that 123 UDP port is
opened." appears.


Expected results:
No error message about being able to sync to the ntp server
