[ale] Time issue

[jsheets at yahoo.com (Jerald Sheets)]

There was a pile of "time" issues recently with the RH
family (EL, FC, etc.) in kernel, ntpd, permissions on
/etc/localtime, yada yada.

I'm in a kernel-level lock and a feature-level lock,
and can't apply anything but security patches as
suggested by the application vendor.  

their recommendation was to turn on ntp.

Were I to kernel upgrade or anything else....WHACKO! 
unsupported.


Band aid, yes.
Problematic, yes.
Required, yes.
