From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: During the installation process, when firstboot runs, it is possible to set the date and time. One option displayed is to use an NTP time server. However, it is not possible to configure for more than one server. The NTP docs specify that more than one server should be used in order to obtain accurate time. Perhaps a comma separated or space separated list could be allowed? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RHL9 2.When firstboot runs, at the set date/time page try entering more than one time server (comma separated list). It is accepted but does not work. 3. Actual Results: No time server is configured. Expected Results: Multiple time servers should be configured. Additional info:
For most setups, one ntp server works just fine. You can always add additional servers in the /etc/ntp.conf file after firstboot if you want to. Making the config tool accept multiple servers adds unnecessary complication.
