Fedora 16 introduced chrony as default client time&date synchronization
service:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ChronyDefaultNTP
Thus, there may be people already using chrony as their time and date
synchronization service before installing IPA.
However, installing IPA server or client on such machine may lead to
unexpected behavior, as the IPA installer would configure ntpd and leave
the machine with both ntpd and chronyd enabled. However, since the OS
does not allow both chronyd and ntpd to be running concurrently and chronyd
has the precedence, ntpd would not be run on that system at all.
Make sure, that user is warned when trying to install IPA on such
system and is given a possibility to either not to let IPA configure
ntpd at all or to let the installer stop and disable chronyd.

This is done as a default action of the ancestor class so that no matter what
platform is currently used this code is always the same and the name is the
wellknown service name.
This information will be used by ipactl to stop only and all the services that
have been started by any ipa tool/install script

httpd init script on sysV based platforms cannot guarantee that two
consecutive httpd service restarts succeed when run in a small
time distance.
Add fallback procedure that adds additional waiting time after such
failed restart attempt, and then try to stop and start the service
again.

When the --hostname option is given to ipa-client-install, we
write HOSTNAME to /etc/sysconfig/network. When that file didn't exist,
the installer crashed.
Create the file if it doesn't exist and we need to write to it.

All service start/restart currently go through ipapython/platform so
move the "wait for service to start" code there as well.
A dictionary of known services and ports to wait on is defined in base.py
This is referenced by the platforms by instance name to determine what
to wait for. For the case of dirsrv if we get that as a plain name
(no specific instance) it is assumed to be the main IPA service.

We don't have a specific requires on the policycoreutils package. It
gets pulled in as a dependency on the server anyway, but checking
there is like a belt and suspenders.
On the client we don't require SELinux at all. If SELinux is enabled
however we need to set things up properly. This is provided by the
policycoreutils package so fail if that isn't available.

Also check for the existence of restorecon. This may be overkill but
it will prevent a client installation from failing for no good reason.

Add method for getting configuration directory path of a service,
so that a different SSH configuration directory can be specified on
different platforms.

backup_and_replace_hostname() was doing three things:
1. Given config file in 'key=value' style, replace value for a
specified key (HOSTNAME)
2. Backup original file and install a replacement
3. Restore original security context after editing
We have several more places where parts of the functionality are needed,
thus making two tools in ipapython.ipautil:
1. config_replace_variables(filepath, replacevars=dict(),
appendvars=dict())
Replaces or appends values to specified keys, adding new key=value
pairs if key was absent
2. backup_config_and_replace_variables(fstore, filepath,
replacevars=dict(),
appendvars=dict())
Backups config file and calls config_replace_variables()
A caller must handle security context after using these two tools.
In addition, as before, there is
ipapython.services.backup_and_replace_hostname() that uses
these common tools and restores security context after editing.
The code will be used extensively for systemd integration for Fedora 16.
Fixes:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1871
Refactor FreeIPA code to allow abstracting all calls to external processes and
dependencies on modification of system-wide configuration. A platform provider
would give its own implementation of those methods and FreeIPA would use it
based on what's built in packaging process.
