However it fails with "ntpstat: command not found". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): OSP: 13 Puddle: 2018-04-10.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: (undercloud) [stack@undercloud-0 ~]$ sudo ntpstat Actual results: sudo: ntpstat: command not found Expected results: ntpstat should work.

Workaround: (undercloud) [stack@undercloud-0 ~]$ sudo yum install ntp ... Installed: ntp.x86_64 0:4.2.6p5-28.el7 (undercloud) [stack@undercloud-0 ~]$ sudo systemctl enable ntpd Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ntpd.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service. (undercloud) [stack@undercloud-0 ~]$ sudo systemctl start ntpd (undercloud) [stack@undercloud-0 ~]$ sudo ntpstat unsynchronised time server re-starting polling server every 8 s (undercloud) [stack@undercloud-0 ~]$ sudo ntpstat synchronised to NTP server (138.236.128.112) at stratum 3 time correct to within 1110 ms polling server every 64 s
It is not installed unless you configure ntp via the undercloud.conf. We've recently changed this to always be installed, but if you aren't properly configuring the ntp servers in the undercloud.conf at install time it would not install ntp.
