DESCRIPTION

Installs and configures ntp, optionally set up a local NTP server.

REQUIREMENTS

Should work on any Red Hat-family or Debian-family Linux distribution.

USAGE

Set up the ntp attributes in a role. For example in a base.rb role applied to all nodes:

name "base"
description "Role applied to all systems"
default_attributes(
  "ntp" => {
    "servers" => ["time.int.example.org"]
  }
)

Then in an ntpserver.rb role that is applied to NTP servers (e.g., time.int.example.org):

name "ntp_server"
description "Role applied to the system that should be an NTP server."
default_attributes(
  "ntp" => {
    "is_server" => "true",
    "servers" => ["0.pool.ntp.org", "1.pool.ntp.org"]
  }
)
