Can you redo the commit message to prefix it with unixPB: (Can be done on squash but if someone else does it it's likely to get missed.

Do we install the ntp packages in containers? Assuming yes I guess it just doesn't get registered which is why this fails?

Done, we do install NTPD, but the docker containers lack "services" , systemctl returns a bus error, which I guess is a docker thing, so I think this is probably the closes thing to a solution. It seems to work OK on Centos7 & Centos8, but the VPC on Centos6 failed, so I'll need to do a bit more investigation into that.

systemctl returns a bus error

Yikes, but ok ... :-)

For documentation purposes...

systemd requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability but Docker drops that capability in the non privileged containers, in order to add more security... I guess we could look to implement this if required in our containers.

Rerun Of The VPC with improved handling for CentOS6..

I wouldn't have thought we need it. Is hope that time sync would be handled by the host for the containerised environment
