NTPsec
ntpsec
replaces ntp
in Fedora 34. ntpsec
is designed with the highest security standards in mind and its focus is to be a more secure implementation of ntp
. This change improves the overall security of Fedora, as ntp
contained a number of vulnerabilities that had been exploited in recent years and were not fixed, nor were fixes considered likely to come soon. ntpsec
is an open-source, actively maintained, fork of ntp
and improves on it by removing obsolete code, updating the codebase, and adding additional features.
There are not likely to be any visible effects for Fedora users: ntpsec
is already almost fully compatible with ntp
and so existing settings should continue to function for most users. There are very minor functional changes between ntpsec
and ntp
, as described here, and so there is the potential for limited problems to occur. If problems do occur, then check system logs from the ntpd
service and modify /etc/ntpd/conf
as necessary, see the documentation for NTPsec.
The latest version, v1.20, is available in Fedora 34. See the NTPsec project news page for information about the latest version compared to prior releases.

In Fedora 34, the deprecated bluez
utilities have been moved to a dedicated sub-package to indicate their upstream support status.
The list of utilities being moved are:
-
ciptool
-
gatttool
-

-
hciconfig
-
hcidump
-
hcitool
