auto-configure NTP in Kickstart?

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to setup NTP info via kickstart ? More
specifically, I'd like to do the following on Fedora 10 systems via the
kickstart mechanism:
1) Specify NTP servers (e.g., ntp1.virginia.edu, ntp2.virginia.edu, ...)
2) Enable / activate NTP -- I.e., What one would get by running
'system-config-time' and clicking the "Enable Network Time Protocol" box.
I know this stuff can set manually, post-installation, via the
system-config-time route, and that it also can be setup immediately
after a kickstart-based install by setting "firstboot --enable" to run
the Setup Agent upon first reboot (...and then manually entering the
info at that screen.) But seems as though this could be done at the
kickstart level ??
I couldn't find anything on ntp-in-kickstart in the Anaconda Kickstart
reference at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart or by
searching around the web. I naively did the following in a ks file to
modify ntp.conf, but that doesn't actually 'enable' ntp on the system:
> cat >> /etc/ntp.conf <<EOF_ntpconfig
> server ntp1.virginia.edu dynamic
> server ntp2.virginia.edu dynamic
> server ntp3.virginia.edu dynamic
> EOF_ntpconfig
Any tips (or pointers to possible advice) would be most sincerely
appreciated...
Cameron
