Re: [Fuego] Time sync

Muk,

I decided to write a test to implement the feature you described.

It is called Functional.time_sync_from_host, and it is now available=20
in the fuego-core repository, if you'd like to use it.  If you do use it,
please let me know if it provides a solution for the issue you
described.

I just pushed it to the fuego-core repository, so you'll need to do
a 'git pull' to get it.

Alternatively, you can also see it online here:
https://bitbucket.org/fuegotest/fuego-core/src/master/tests/Functional.sync=
_time_from_host/

Regards,
 -- Tim
