# This test verifies that systemd-timesyncd can resolve the NTP server hostname when DNSSEC validation
2
+
# fails even though it is enforced in the systemd-resolved settings. It is required in order to solve
3
+
# the chicken-and-egg problem when DNSSEC validation needs the correct time to work, but to set the
4
+
# correct time, we need to connect to an NTP server, which usually requires resolving its hostname.
6
+
# This test does the following:
7
+
# - Sets up a DNS server (tinydns) listening on the eth1 ip addess, serving .ntp and fake.ntp records.
8
+
# - Configures that DNS server as a resolver and enables DNSSEC in systemd-resolved settings.
9
+
# - Configures systemd-timesyncd to use fake.ntp hostname as an NTP server.
10
+
# - Performs a regular DNS lookup, to ensure it fails due to broken DNSSEC.
11
+
# - Waits until systemd-timesyncd resolves fake.ntp by checking its debug output.
12
+
# Here, we don't expect systemd-timesyncd to connect and synchronize time because there is no NTP
13
+
# server running. For this test to succeed, we only need to ensure that systemd-timesyncd
14
+
# resolves the IP address of the fake.ntp host.
