Description of problem: While synchronizing the time through drakconf (mageia control center), selecting the "enable network time protocol" (Mageia Control Center > System > Manage Date and Time) seems to have no effect other than immediately synchronizing the time. This has to be done every single time, it doesn't happen automatically when the machine is booted. I am not sure this is by design since this used to happen automatically in mga5. This happens on both cauldron and on mageia 6(not upgraded, fresh install). Cauldron is lxde, mga6 is plasma. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1) drakconf 2) System > Manage Data and Time 3) Set 'Enable Network Time Protocol' 4) Redo the above, the option 'Enable Network Time Protocol' has to be enabled again.

So, I am not sure if there were any changes made, but the time is now synchronising automatically upon boot, but, there is still no tick mark against Enable NTP option in MCC. Would be nice if we knew if it was enabled or disabled.
