[Go-essp-tech] NTP Server and ESG Installation Script

[Gavin M Bell]

Hi Philip,

I can take a look at that.  Indeed NTP is a must for any distributed
system.  Most systems come with NTP so are you proposing configuration
modifications i.e. we all point to the same time clocks, which is kind
of moot with NTP as all roads lead to the master clock anyway, or are
you proposing simply checking that NTP is installed and/or running?
