<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I am able to manually start ntpd using
the command "systemctl start ntpd.service". I thought I had
indicated that in my original post. When I run the enable command,
it does create a sym link. Below is what it does...<br>
<br>
ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service'
'/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ntpd.service'<br>
<br>
For some reason or another it is not starting though on boot.<br>
<br>
I looked at my log file and it is not showing any failure from
what I can see. I know that systemd is not starting ntpd
automatically. I am using the package that came with the
distribution and am getting a bit frustrated that such a simple
thing is not working.<br>

I am playing with CentOS 7 and have been encountering some
difficulties. I was wondering if anyone else has attempted to
use it or is having problems?<br>

I was able to have the client machine join my Samba 4 windows
domain and am able to authenticate to it. Yea!<br>

I cannot get ntp to start at statup. I am always having to
manually start it. I have run "systemctl enable ntpd.service"
which I understand is the correct command for systemd to have
an application start on boot (it was "chkconfig ntpd on"
utilizing previous versions).<br>
There is the problem of applications... I cannot find a rdp
client on the distro or epel. I found rdesktop on a repository
that I have never used before and don't know if I trust.<br>
<br>
I am thinking about trying Linux Mint (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.linuxmint.com/"
target="_blank">http://www.linuxmint.com/</a>) or kubuntu (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.kubuntu.org/"
target="_blank">http://www.kubuntu.org/</a>). I am trying to
see if I can operate at my office without Windows. I am very
comfortable with CentOS versions prior to 7 am trying to stay
with CentOS because all of my servers are based on one version
of CentOS or another. I did not like CentOS 6 as a desktop and
that is why I was trying 7. Debian based distros have always
been intimidating since I am used to the package management,
service calls, and locations of files in CentOS.<br>
