[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] 335 Stop and disable conflicting time&date services

[Martin Kosek]

Fedora 16 introduced chrony as default client time&date synchronization
service:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ChronyDefaultNTP
Thus, there may be people already using chrony as their time and date
synchronization service before installing IPA.

However, installing IPA server or client on such machine may lead to
unexpected behavior, as the IPA installer would configure ntpd and leave
the machine with both ntpd and chronyd enabled. However, since the OS
does not allow both chronyd and ntpd to be running concurrently and chronyd
has the precedence, ntpd would not be run on that system at all.

Make sure, that user is warned when trying to install IPA on such
system and is given a possibility to either not to let IPA configure
ntpd at all or to let the installer stop and disable chronyd.
