This is a carry-over of additional work from https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1598 and https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1608

@N3WWN
removing all manipulations of /etc/inittab for systemd-based systems
would cause regressions in particular for sshd, see
https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1612
therein in particular

@jsmeix
Thanks for pointing that out!

For now, I'm going to rename the issue to reflect that this was intended for the time sync portion of the code so that the regression problems do not crop up.

@N3WWN any chance to get this further?

Yes, this is also being tested as part of the changes to 430_prepare_timesync.sh that will include chronyd support. Hopefully submitting the PR early next week.

With https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1739 merged,
this issue should be fixed.
