Redhat Server Time Run Out
Posted on July 24, 2006
This morning I was noticed that all my server [tag]time[/tag] are running out 
What Happen?
After further investigate, I found that [tag]Redhat[/tag] did an automatic [tag]up2date[/tag] updated. More than 20 packages are updated last night, my /etc/localtime was overwrite.
[user1@planetmy user1]$rpm -qf /etc/localtime
glibc-2.3.2-95.44
My RHEL 3 Redhat Network(RHN) updated glibc last night.
So how to solve this problem in the future?
