Doc Text:	sapconf now detects the NTP configuration properly Previously, the sapconf utility did not check whether the host system was configured to use the Network Time Protocol (NTP). As a consequence, even when NTP was configured, sapconf displayed the following error: 3: NTP Service should be configured and started With this update, sapconf properly checks for the NTP configuration, and the described problem no longer occurs.

Description Ranjith Rajaram 2015-06-05 07:38:51 UTC

Description of problem:

sapconf only check whether chronyd is running or not. It does not check whether the host system is configured to use ntp. 

[root@test ~]# ntpstat 
synchronised to NTP server (X.X.X.X) at stratum 2 
   time correct to within 8108 ms
   polling server every 64 s


[root@test ~]# service ntpd status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status  ntpd.service
ntpd.service - Network Time Service
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service; disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Fri 2015-06-05 13:04:09 IST; 52s ago
  Process: 20921 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ntpd -u ntp:ntp $OPTIONS (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
 Main PID: 20922 (ntpd)
   CGroup: /system.slice/ntpd.service
           └─20922 /usr/sbin/ntpd -u ntp:ntp -g

Whenever I run sapconf script, sapconf throws the following message

"3: NTP Service should be configured and started"


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
sapconf-0.98-6.el7.noarch

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure NTP using ntp.conf/ntp package
2. run sapconf script
3.

Actual results:

Sapconf prints the message that NTP is not running


Expected results:

sapconf should also honor ntp configuration made via the ntp package
