You are at the wrong place. It's not a question of having configuration or not. Send your convenience request to your system/distro maintainer. It's clearly there job to use tools to build a system. And to have configurations to satisfy user needs. Nothing is wrong with this, all can be done with current Busybox versions. There is no need to add extra code to configure one or two time servers. >When was the last time this mailing list received so many >e-mails in one day? Especially about just one topic?
