Requested by: Federico Lucifredi

Description:
A Yast pane should prompt for NTP set up, which should be configured by
default, but of course can also be disabled there.
Documentation Impact:
Installation guide needs to be updated.

Federico, NTP setup is already possible. Do you want it in a more
prominent place? Also I see a missing way for the product to pre-define
the value, correct?
#2: Federico Lucifredi (2008-06-23 21:03:12)
(reply to #1)
right. I want to see it pre-enabled by default againt a dedicated suse.
pool.ntp.org / time.novell.com server (separate feature for that).
We are lagging a bit behind Win and Mac where the vendos provide their
own time source, and we need to catch up there.

We will need not only to enable NTP during installation, but display
this information in the installation proposal (and possibly time zone
dialog) as well.

+ OK, this
+ (http://w3.suse.de/~jsuchome/screenshots/yast2-timezone-ntp-status.png) is
+ proposal how to show the info in current time zone dialog. It is
+ probably bad that status is part of the frame label, but I didn't want
+ to take more space from the whole dialog by adding new line...

for openSUSE it's 0.opensuse.pool.ntp.org 1.opensuse.pool.ntp.org 2.
opensuse.pool.ntp.org 3.opensuse.pool.ntp.org, for SLE there is no NTP
server. time.novell.com can not be used, IS&T does not provide that
level of service.
