[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#569775: left-overs

[Ognyan Kulev]

After I send the report, I noticed that /etc/ntp.conf.dhcp is not used
in /etc/init.d/ntp but /var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp. But the latter file
existed too and in essence the situation is the same. Probably
/etc/ntp.conf.dhcp is left-over from older ntp version (this computer is
continously upgraded since sarge times). That's why I retitled the bug
and the original report should be read as
s,/etc/ntp.conf.dhcp,/var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp/s.

I'm using NetworkManager with automatic interface up and I've just
tested the following scenario: touch /var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp, down
interface (via NetworkManager GNOME applet), up IF, down IF--and the
file is still there. /var/log/syslog shows that on IF up dhclient is
used but no trace of dhclient when IF down.

I don't know when dhclient-script is supposed to be used but in my
configuration (NetworkManager automatically manages eth0), it seems this
exit hook is never called.
