add chrony support

Description of problem:
The attached patch adds support for the chrony NTP client. The s-c-d dependency on ntp is removed (ntp is installed by default in comps, so this shouldn't cause any problems) and configured will be ntpd or chronyd depending on which is installed or enabled. If none of them is installed, the NTP checkbox will be greyed out and if they are both installed and disabled, chrony will be selected.

Some of the localized strings might need an update.

Also, I think the ntp.conf template could be dropped, an empty config containing only the specified servers is a valid config too.

Comment 1 Nils Philippsen 2010-08-27 15:21:20 UTC
Yeah, makes sense.

Comment 2 Miroslav Lichvar 2011-05-26 14:03:35 UTC
Any updates? It would be nice to have this in F16.

switch to systemctl to manage NTP services

chrony package no longer provides SysV init script and ntp will follow. This patch replaces service and chkconfig calls with systemctl.

Comment 4 Miroslav Lichvar 2011-07-15 13:56:03 UTC
Support for chrony in s-c-d is required for proposed Fedora feature

Please let me know if the patches need more work.

Comment 5 Miroslav Lichvar 2011-07-22 13:36:35 UTC
The patches are included in system-config-date-1.9.61-3.fc16.
