It works fairly well, and changes regularly to reflect

Odd thing - I just checked this machine, which is my office
machine, and that setting wasn't checked. I had NTP turned off
for some reason - this was an upgrade from FC6 so maybe
something changed then, because I always get NTP working early
in any install. Anyhow, I left the setting off, and turned on
NTP, and everything works just fine, so I guess that setting is
irrelevant, or is over-ridden if no local time-source is
configured, or whatever...in any event, it obviously doesn't
have to be checked.
