Comment 1 Need Real Name 2002-12-30 08:30:15 EST

Markku Kolkka suggested on the Phoebe list that the restrict line should have a 
numeric IP address, instead of a server name.

Comment 2 Brent Fox 2003-01-02 15:04:07 EST

Should be fixed in redhat-config-date-1.5.6-3, which should appear in Rawhide in
the next day or so.  QA, please verify.

Comment 3 Brian Brock 2003-01-08 11:38:18 EST

Appears fixed to me, resolving as rawhide.
