Selecting more than one time server is just confusing to the user. Both MacOS X and Windows XP allow for only one time server. If you really need more than one server, just add them to /etc/ntp.conf |
Description of problem: Since the NTP protocol (and ntp server released with RH9) support being able to check against multiple NTP servers, it would be nice if redhat-config-date supported this also. It would additionally be nice to be able to add servers to this list. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Drop down list of available NTP servers, only two are listed and you can only select one Actual Results: could only select ONE from a list of just a few NTP servers Expected Results: Should be able to select multiple servers, and add to the list if desired. Additional info: These enhancements would be especially nice in situations where direct (http only proxy, etc., or none at all) internet access is not available.
