Description Jerry Cloe 2003-10-19 06:47:06 UTC
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.

Comment 1 Brent Fox 2003-10-20 14:41:56 UTC
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
