Details
An updated system-config-date package that fixes a bug is now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
system-config-date is a graphical interface for changing the system date and
time, configuring the system time zone, and setting up the NTP daemon to
synchronize the time of the system with an NTP time server.
This updated system-config-date package fixes the following bug:
* Prior to this update, the system-config-date program set date and time in two
separate steps which sometimes caused time update threads in Xen virtual
machines (VMs) to become unresponsive. This version sets date and time together
in one step. As a result, any Xen VMs running on the host no longer hang during
the date and time update process. (BZ#529071)
All users of system-config-date are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which fixes this bug.
