Should be fixed in redhat-config-date-1.5-2. I now copy a template ntp.conf file to /usr/share/redhat-config-date/ntp.template on installation. If /etc/ntp.conf has been removed for some reason, I use this template as the basis for the new file, and just replace the server line with the server specified in the GUI. QA, please verify the fix.
Fix confirmed with redhat-config-date-1.5-2.
