Removing the TimeOwner would make the code a lot simpler.<o:p></o:p></p>

Hi, Thank you for the response. From what I interpreted:<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>- TimeOwner is not settable via GUI<br>
- Irrespective of NTP setting, the user is not allowed to set the
time on BMC<br>
- BMC is syncing the time from Host.<br>
- This means, the current TimeOwner is "Host" and NTP is off.
Is that being set as default ?<br>
</div>
<div><br>
I am requesting for feedback from the community on the need of
TimeOwner feature that we have in Settings and timemanager code.<br>
