RHBA-2007:0457 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
redhat-config-date bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated redhat-config-date package with an up to date configuration
template is now available.
Description
The redhat-config-date package installs 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.
If /etc/ntp.conf was missing, redhat-config-date used an outdated template
to start with. This updated package contains an updated template, which
corrects this issue.
Users of redhat-config-date are advised to upgrade to this updated package.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
