Once upon a time, unruh <[email protected]> said: >I am shocked that RHEL5.7 uses 4.2.2 That is really ancient.
Just as an FYI: RHEL major versions typically stay with the same package versions as long as practical for compatibility and certification reasons. So, once RHEL 5.0 was released with ntp-4.2.2p1, all updates in the RHEL 5.x major version will stay with ntp-4.2.2p1 unless either (a) it becomes unmaintainable from a security point of view (for example, the desktop RHEL has updated Firefox) or (b) a partner or major customer has significant reason to request RH engineering update to a newer ntp. What they have done for some packages such as PHP and BIND is to package a newer version that can be installed instead (e.g. ntp426). To be honest though, changes in ntp are probably not important enough to a large enough audience to get that treatment (also, most people wouldn't expect that there had been significant changes between version 4.2.2p1 and 4.2.6p4 of a package). -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
