Hi Erik,

The NTP servers are used by the ldmadmin(1) script to verify that the system 
clock is correct (the LDM depends on accurate time for correct operation). You 
can list any servers you want in the relevant registry parameter. 
Alternatively, if you know that your system clock is always accurate, you can 
disable time-checking by setting the parameter "/check-time/enabled" to "0".

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
