Ahh gotta love the RFC's sometimes :-)

I'd actually say it's a really good idea to have NTP servers 
pre-populated for BlueOnyx.  As a SysAdmin there is nothing worse than 
comparing logs between systems that have different times on them. 
Perhaps the GUI could keep these defaults and have a textbox that 
allowed you to list multiple servers to edit them?

No, this is broken, if you remove a timeserver from the GUI then that 
very timeserver stays in the config file and doesn't get removed.  The 
extra servers also stay too.
