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.

Proposed spec file for NTP 4.2.6p5

Description of problem:
NTP should be rebased to version >= 4.2.6 to support signed responses required by AD DC functionality (samba4).

Now that samba4 is approaching release (and Rawhide package seems to already take RHEL6 into consideration) and BIND has been rebased to 9.8 (minimum required version to support DLZ with samba4) this seems the last step to a future workable Technology Preview of Samba4 under RHEL6.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ntp-4.2.4p8-2.el6.src.rpm

How reproducible:
Check docs/configuration: no 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
No support available for signed responses.

Expected results:
Signed responses supported.

Additional info:
Attached spec file (from Rawhide package, modified to support non-systemd distro) and SysVinit control scripts for NTPd 4.2.6p5
