Hi All
 
Last night we successfully upgraded our ipa server to OEL 7.9, and ipa-server-4.6.8-5.el7.
 
However the ipa.service will not start, because it fails at the NTP Service.
 
All other ipa components start if we use the --ignore-service-failures option.
 
# ipactl start --ignore-service-failures
Existing service file detected!
Assuming stale, cleaning and proceeding
Starting Directory Service
Starting krb5kdc Service
Starting kadmin Service
Starting httpd Service
Starting ntpd Service
Failed to start ntpd Service
Forced start, ignoring ntpd Service, continuing normal operation
Starting pki-tomcatd Service
Starting ipa-otpd Service
 
I am ok with ntpd not starting, we have long since moved to chrony, and have ntpd disabled and masked.
 
The question is, how do I configure our ipa-server to not use ntpd?
 
I am aware that there are options for ntpd on installation, but am unsure how to do this for an existing server.
