3.56. ntp
Updated ntp packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize a computer's time with another referenced time source. This package includes the ntpd daemon which continuously adjusts system time and utilities used to query and configure the ntpd daemon.
Bug Fix
- BZ#1037272
- Previously, with a complex Name Service Switch (NSS) configured and large NTP request rate, the ntpd daemon needed more memory than was allowed by the memory locking limit. As a consequence, the ntpd process could terminate unexpectedly. To fix this bug, the memory locking limit has been doubled. As a result, ntpd no longer crashes.
Users of ntp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
