Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Fedora): Bug 1180791
Description of problem: ipa-client-install --force-ntpd stops the current time services (chronyd by default) after attempting to sync with the ntp server. This results in syncing with the ntp server to fail, and leads to an error message that might make the user think the ntp server is misconfigured. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): freeipa-client-4.1.2-1.fc21 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have any time service (ntpd, chronyd, etc.) running 2. ipa-client-install --forcentpd Actual results: When attempting to sync with the ntp server the error "Unable to sync time with IPA NTP server, assuming the time is in sync. Please check that 123 UDP port is opened." appears. Expected results: No error message about being able to sync to the ntp server
