Synopsis
Updated ntp package fixes initscript bug
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated ntp package that fixes an initscript bug is now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.
Description
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize a computer's time
with a reference time source.
An updated ntp package fixes an initscript bug that prevented NTP traffic
from coming through a firewall. In addition, the package has been modified
to remove its dependency on PERL.
Users of NTP should upgrade to these updated packages.
