Hello everyone, I'm trying to get NTP running on the CentOS 7 LXC template... but it just won't budge. journalctl -xn has the following:

Code:
-- The result is failed.
Sep 16 21:05:52 IPA systemd[1]: Unit ntpd.service entered failed state.

journalctl -xn was complaining about ntpd not being able to run b/c -u ntp:ntp was being passed - so I changed ownership to ntp, but this did nothing. Anyone see this?
 
Why do you want to run NTP inside the container? The container gets time from the host, which already runs an NTP client.
