[Bug 1578663] Re: create DHCP exit hook for setting NTP servers through dhclient

 

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 229-6ubuntu1

---------------
systemd (229-6ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - Hack to support system-image read-only /etc, and modify files in
      /etc/writable/ instead.

systemd (229-6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * systemd-container: Prefer renamed "btrfs-progs" package name over
    "btrfs-tools". (Closes: #822629)
  * systemd-container: Recommend libnss-mymachines. (Closes: #822615)
  * Drop systemd-dbg, in favor of debhelpers' automatic -dbgsym packages.
  * Drop Add-targets-for-compatibility-with-Debian-insserv-sy.patch; we don't
    need $x-display-manager any more as most/all DMs ship native services, and
    $mail-transport-agent is not widely used (not even by our default MTA
    exim4).
  * Unify our two patches for Debian specific configuration files.
  * Drop udev-re-enable-mount-propagation-for-udevd.patch, i. e. run udevd in
    its own slave mount name space again. laptop-mode-tools 1.68 fixed the
    original bug (#762018), thus add a Breaks: to earlier versions.
  * Ship fbdev-blacklist.conf in /lib/modprobe.d/ instead of /etc/modprobe.d/;
    remove the conffile on upgrades.
  * Replace util-Add-hidden-suffixes-for-ucf.patch with patch that got
    committed upstream.
  * Replace Stop-syslog.socket-when-entering-emergency-mode.patch with patch
    that got committed upstream.
  * debian/udev.README.Debian: Adjust documentation of MAC based naming for
    USB network cards to the udev rule, where this was moved to in 229-5.
  * debian/extra/init-functions.d/40-systemd: Invoke status command with
    --no-pager, to avoid blocking scripts that call an init.d script with
    "status" with an unexpected pager process. (Closes: #765175, LP: #1576409)
  * Add debian/extra/rules/70-debian-uaccess.rules: Make FIDO U2F dongles
    accessible to the user session. This avoids having to install libu2f-host0
    (which isn't discoverable at all) to make those devices work.
    (LP: #1387908)
  * libnss-resolve: Enable systemd-resolved.service on package installation,
    as this package makes little sense without resolved.
  * Add a DHCP exit hook for pushing received NTP servers into timesyncd.
    (LP: #1578663)
  * debian/udev.postinst: Fix migration check from the old persistent-net
    generator to not apply to chroots. (Closes: #813141)
  * Revert "enable TasksMax= for all services by default, and set it to 512".
    Introducing a default limit on number of threads broke a lot of software
    which regularly needs more, such as MySQL and RabbitMQ, or services that
    spawn off an indefinite number of subtasks that are not in a scope, like
    LXC or cron. 512 is way too much for most "simple" services, and it's way
    too little for the ones mentioned above. Effective (and much stricter)
    limits should instead be put into units individually.
    (Closes: #823530, LP: #1578080)
  * Split out udev rule to name USB network interfaces by MAC address into
    73-usb-net-by-mac.rules, so that it's easier to disable. (Closes: #824025)
  * 73-usb-net-by-mac.rules: Disable when net.ifnames=0 is specified on the
    kernel command line, to be consistent with disabling the *.link files.
  * 73-special-net-names.rule: Name the IBM integrated management module
    virtual USB network card "ibmimm". Thanks Marco d'Itri!

Title:
  create DHCP exit hook for setting NTP servers through dhclient

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in systemd source package in Yakkety:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Similar to /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ntpdate, we should ship a
  DHCP exit hook for timesyncd to update the timesyncd configuration in
  /run/systemd/timesyncd.conf.d/01-dhclient.conf to set the picked up
  NTP servers, and restart timesyncd.

  SRU INFORMATION
  ===============
  Rationale: This is a regression compared to trusty where we used ntpdate; /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ntpdate ran ntpdate on the new NTP servers. This causes timesyncd to always try and talk to the disto configured server (ntp.ubuntu.com) which might be disallowed by firewall rules or other networking policy. Thus machines in such an environment never get a correct time sync even when they get a local NTP server advertised over DHCP (unless they use systemd-networkd, which is not done by default in Xenial).

  Test case:
  - Set up a DHCP server that includes NTP information. For example, you can set LXC_DHCP_CONFILE=/etc/lxc/dnsmasq.conf in /etc/default/lxc-net, and create /etc/lxc/dnsmasq.conf with "dhcp-option=option:ntp-server,4.3.2.1", and then run QEMU on lxcbr0 instead of the builtin network.
  - In the client machine, disconnect and reconnect the network (e. g. "sudo ifdown ens3; sudo ifup ens3").
  - Check in "systemctl status systemd-timesyncd" that timesyncd tries to sync with the given NTP server (for the bogus 4.3.2.1 it will fail, but the point is that it did try).

  Regression potential: A broken dhclient-exit-hooks.d has the potential
  to break subsequent hooks. dhclient-scripts runs the hooks without
  "set -e", but syntax errors can still cause damage. Thus it should be
  verified that later hooks (e. g. /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d
  /zzz_avahi-autoipd) still run. Beyond that there is little potential
  for regression as
