title: installing NTP on CentOS 6
body: <p>I am running CentOS Linux release 6.0 (Final) on amazon ec2.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to install NTP (network time protocol), but am getting errors.</p>
  
  <p>Im logged in as root and am in the root directory.
  I type <code>yum -y install ntp</code> and get "No package ntp available".</p>
  
  <p>I have also tried <code>install ntp</code> , <code>sudo install ntp</code>, <code>yum install ntp</code>, <code>yum install -y ntp</code> all yield the same "No package ntp available" message.</p>
  
  <p>When I type <code>yum search ntp</code> I get "No Matches found".  </p>
  
  <p>Based on everything I've researched, yum should find ntp and the install commands should install it and start the daemon ntpd. Please advise.</p>
