Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Section Number and Name: 

KVM guest timing management

Describe the issue: 

Only ntpd example is shown, but guests could be RHEL7

Suggestions for improvement: 

Add chronyd command examples

Additional information: 

This text is not good:
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon should be running on the host and the guest virtual machines. Make sure to install ntp and enable the ntpd service: 

NTP is the protocol, ntp is the package which provides ntpd

Try something like:
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) should be configured on the host and the guest virtual machines. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and earlier, NTP is implemented by ntpd. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, both ntpd and chronyd can provide an NTP time synchronization service.

Adding links to the Deployment Guide for RHEL6 and the Sysadmin Guide for RHEL7 would be a bonus.
