Fedora 16 uses '''Chrony''' as the default Network Time Protocol (NTP) client. '''Chrony''' is designed to work well even on systems with no permanent network connection (such as laptops), and is capable of much faster time synchronisation than standard ntp. '''Chrony''' has several advantages when used in systems running on virtual machines, such as a larger range for frequency correction to help correct quickly drifting clocks, and better response to rapid changes in the clock frequency. It also has a smaller memory footprint and no unnecessary process wakeups, improving power efficiency.

Fedora uses `chronie` for execution of scheduled tasks using the `chrond` service. Packages may drop files into '''/etc/cron.d/''' to add a task, or a user can add a task using the `crontab` utility.
== HAL Removal ==
 
Fedora 16 does not ship with the '''HAL''' daemon and '''libhal''', which have been replaced with '''udisks''', '''upower''' and '''libudev'''. If a specific application require libhal to function, please file a bug against it to be ported to the new technology.

BIND 9.10

The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) has been updated to version 9.10. This version adds IPv6 listening by default. It also unifies external and internal libraries so that external applications can use the same libraries as BIND daemons. The version 3 XML schema, which provides faster parsing, is no longer optional.

Scheduled Tasks

Fedora uses chronie for execution of scheduled tasks using the chrond service. Packages may drop files into /etc/cron.d/ to add a task, or a user can add a task using the crontab utility.
