Allow NTP server to be overriden by WAN DHCP
Added by Michal Fresel over 13 years ago.

Description
As with DNS, (optionally) allow the upstream DHCP server to provide NTP servers to the firewall.
- Status changed from New to Rejected
The server entered for pfSense is used by the NTP daemon as its upstream source - you can't have pfSense use only its own NTP service on its own without an upstream server. If you want to change it, change it in System > General Setup.
pushing the official NTP-servers (counting 3) for my country by DHCP - so it is a reputable source declared by law.
pfSense does not take the config i provide:
i want new boxes to accept the NTP-server (all 3 ;) declared above (by DHCP on WAN) to be the default time-source as stated - so having 3 servers in ntp.conf
maybe also some feature: accept NTP-servers provided by DHCP (checkbox)
follow-up needed?:
ntp.conf and system.php accepts more than 1 entry but GUI shows just one entry (default: ntp.conf= 3 entries; GUI showin 1 entry)
- Subject changed from use the NTP-server provided by DHCP by default to Allow NTP server to be overriden by WAN DHCP
- Status changed from Rejected to New
ok I misunderstood what you were talking about there. I fixed the description to be more clear.
will try to make it more readable in the future - hopefully ;)
- Status changed from New to Needs Patch
