	From the Redhat Watch List:


The "timetool" time and date configuration utility shipped with Red Hat
Linux 4.2 and 5.2 has been found to represent the year 2000 as a
non-leapyear, when in fact February 29, 2000 is a valid date.  The
timetool shipped with Red Hat Linux 6.0 does not have this issue.

Users of Red Hat Linux 4.x and 5.x should upgrade to a fixed version
of the timetool, which is available at the following locations:

Red Hat Linux 4.x:
- ------------------
rpm -Uvh ftp://updates.redhat.com/4.2/noarch/timetool-2.5-3.noarch.rpm

Please note that Red Hat Linux 4.x users should have the latest errata
rpm packages installed to be able to install this architecture
independent package.


Red Hat Linux 5.x:
- ------------------
rpm -Uvh ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/noarch/timetool-2.5-4.noarch.rpm
