** This is a clone of second aspect of Bugzilla 436797 **

The description of the item "Enable basic system services in runlevel 3"
currently reads:

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│Basic system services must be enabled to provide system consistency │
│and to run the security related services.                           │
│                                                                    │
│These basic system services are not running:                        │
│ntp                                                                 │

│sendmail                                                            │
│                                                                    │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

This is quite misleading: postfix and sendmail are alternatives, where
current verbage suggests both need to run.

I recommend something like the following replacement:

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│The following basic system services must be enabled to provide      │
│system consistency and to run the security related services:        │
│                                                                    │
│  ntp                                                               │
│  consolekit                                                        │
│  postfix or sendmail                                               │    
│                                                                    │
│Not all of these system services are currently running.             │
│                                                                    │
