IIRC there was a similar problem in F22. chrony was added to the
server-product group in comps, but that's not the case in the F23
comps.
ntp and ntpdate are installed, but both are disabled, and I don't
even
know what ntpdate is.
ntp seems to be installed as a freeipa dependency. It's not enabled
by default. There was some discussion that the ipa-*-install scripts
will support chrony as an NTP client and server, but that didn't seem
to happen yet.
# timedatectl

Universal time: Sat 2013-08-31 05:32:34 UTC
RTC time: Sat 2013-08-31 05:32:34
Time zone: America/Denver (MDT, -0600)
Network time on: no
NTP synchronized: no
RTC in local TZ: no
# systemctl enable ntpd
# systemctl start ntpd
Fixes this, but it seems like something should be enabled by default.
If you want to just enable a (S)NTP client, "timedatectl set-ntp true"
should work in all four combinations of chrony and ntp packeges being
installed or not installed.
