Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2003:254 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Updated ntp package fixes several bugs 2003-12-19 05:00:00 UTC

Description Jim Chen 2003-05-20 18:38:10 UTC 
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):Advanced Server 2.1


How reproducible: 100% reproducible


Steps to Reproduce:
1.change the local system clock using date command so that the diference between
  the NTP server time and the local clock time is greater than the default    
  sanity limit or greater than the setting by tinker panic command in the
  ntp.conf file 
2.use ntpq -p command to display the result
3.
    
Actual results: the local clock time is adjusred anyway ignoring the sanity 
limit


Expected results: NTP daemon should exit when the difference between the NTP
server time and local clock time is greater than the sanity limit

ntp-4.1.0b-2
Comment 3 Bob Schmertz 2003-06-26 06:07:34 UTC 
ntp-4.1.1, as shipped with Red Hat 7.3, appears not to have this problem.
Comment 4 Harald Hoyer 2003-10-08 12:02:49 UTC 
there should be an erratum/update available for ntp
