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.

I'm slightly confused by step 4. Can you provide screenshots of the problem?
The way it's supposed to work is
1. right click on clock applet on panel
2) go to the "Preferences" menu
3) click on "Time Settings" button
4) Input the new time in the spin buttons
5) Hit "Set System Time"
6) Depending on policykit policy ask for a root password, user password, or neither
7) Time is updated
It works this way for me. There's no "Configure System Time" button or anything that I know of.

On a second thought, it is more of a mismatched expectation. I was expecting an option to choose ntp (I remember doing it previously from the panel). Ideally it should launch/link to system-config-date which has this option. I had discussed it with aalam and he also thought it was a bug.

And even with System-> Administration -> Date & Time the time is not set correctly with ntp.
This is a Dell Precision T3500 system.

ah i see. I don't think that's something we're going to get to by GA unfortunately.
