Created attachment 433122 [details] 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.
Yeah, makes sense.
Any updates? It would be nice to have this in F16.
Created attachment 513383 [details] 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.
Support for chrony in s-c-d is required for proposed Fedora feature http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ChronyDefaultNTP Please let me know if the patches need more work.
The patches are included in system-config-date-1.9.61-3.fc16.
