Description Daniel 2016-10-03 16:57:35 UTC 
system-config-date can't enable ntp, it is greyed out.

this is known(and fixed upstream) bug in system-config-date because it looks for /bin/systemd to confirm that the system uses systemd vs sysv.


upstream fix https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/system-config-date.git/commit/?id=59d355d8e8cd83a9667e2d0c402b3417e03eef63
Comment 2 Daniel 2017-03-28 17:14:06 UTC 
Still exists in 7.3
Comment 5 Daniel 2017-11-28 13:15:36 UTC 
What is happening with this bug? It is such a simple fix, what is taking so long? I am honestly disappointed since starting to use RHEL...
