Hi!
I am not sure if this is a bug or if I get something wrong. I am using m0n0wall 1.3b14 on an Alix board.
If I enter a ntp time server in
numerical format in the 'General Setup' screen, the time synchronization fails with the following error (example output from running msntp on the 'exec' screen):
Execute:
/usr/local/bin/msntp -v -r -P no -l /var/run/msntp.pid -x 6 100.101.102.103
Result:
msntp options: a=2 p=0 v=1 e=0.100 E=5.000 P=2147483647.000
d=360 c=5 x=360 op=1 l=/var/run/msntp.pid f=/var/db/msntp.state 100.101.102.103
msntp: bad daemon restart information
msntp: unable to locate IP address/number
msntp: Unknown error: 0
This only happens when I configure a static WAN IP address
without providing a DNS server in the 'General Setup' screen.
If I provide a valid DNS server or set the WAN IP address to DHCP everything works just fine.
In my opinion this should not happen, since msntp does not need to resolve the ip address when it is provided in numerical format. Or am I missing something?
