Nevermind this one... I figured that NTP is replaced by chrony.service,
which is running now!

 FWIW, i did the below and re-ran my packstack:
 CONFIG_NTP_SERVERS= <my intranet's time server> in my answers file
 # packstack --answer-file ./packstack-answers.txt
 It showed ...
 ...
 ...
 Installing time synchronization via NTP [ DONE ]
 ...
 ..
 Now checking on my nodes, I don't still see NTP service running...
 [root@rhsdev4 ~]# ps aux| grep ntp
 root     20433  0.0  0.0 112640   960 pts/0    S+   13:58   0:00 grep
 --color=auto ntp
 [root@rhsdev4 ~]# systemctl status ntpd.service
 ntpd.service
    Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
    Active: inactive (dead)
 [root@rhsdev4 ~]# systemctl status ntpdate.service
 ntpdate.service - Set time via NTP
    Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ntpdate.service; disabled)

 *Now what did i do wrong ? :)*
