      Description of problem:
      =======================

      According to [1], Chrony should be preferred for all systems except for the systems that are managed or monitored by tools that do not support chrony, or the systems that have a hardware reference clock which cannot be used with chrony.

      However, when provisioning RHEL 7.x systems via Red Hat Satellite 6.9 or 6.10, the 'chrony' package is not even installed on the provisioned system.

      [1] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/system_administrators_guide/ch-configuring_ntp_using_the_chrony_suite#sect-Choosing_between_NTP_daemon

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      =============================================================

      • Red Hat Satellite 6.9
      • Red Hat Satellite 6.10

      How reproducible:
      =================
      Always.

      Steps to Reproduce:
      ===================
      Provision a RHEL 7.x system using the default provisioning templates via Red Hat Satellite 6.9 or 6.10.

      Actual results:
      ===============
      The 'chrony' package is not even installed on the provisioned RHEL 7.x system.

      Expected results:
      =================
      The RHEL 7.x system is provisioned with the 'chrony' package installed, and 'Chronyd' configured and started.
