[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#810481: puppet-module-puppetlabs-ntp: none

[Bernd Schatz]

Package: puppet-module-puppetlabs-ntp
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Using the option logfile in the class ntp leads to a syntax error
in the ntp.conf files of the clients.(Jessie 8.2).

The relevant line in the config is
logfile = /var/log/ntp.log
but should be
logfile /var/log/ntp.log


Solution: remove the "=" in
/usr/share/puppet/modules.available/puppetlabs-ntp/templates/ntp.conf.erb
diff
/usr/share/puppet/modules.available/puppetlabs-ntp/templates/ntp.conf.erb ~/ntp.conf.erb
47c47
< logfile = <%= @logfile %>
---
> logfile <%= @logfile %>




For instance, create file /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp with
*************************
On puppet master
class { '::ntp':
  servers => [ '0.pool.ntp.org', '1.pool.ntp.org', '2.pool.ntp.org',
'3.pool.ntp.org', ],
  logfile => '/var/log/ntp.log',
}
include '::ntp'
*************************

update client with  "puppet agent -t"  and check result with

*************************
