Maybe it should. You can make it honor them, with a little work. You have to make a dhclient.conf file with the appropriate "request" statement to ask for the "ntp-servers" option. You also have to make a dhclient-exit-hooks script to generate the ntp.conf file. It's a PITA. I agree with you that support for this should be standard. John
