Journal messages can be forwarded to remote storage, without using a syslog daemon. The '''systemd-journal-remote''' and '''systemd-journal-upload''' packages provide receiver and sender daemons. Communication is done over HTTPS.
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.

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.


Two new security-related options are now being used by '''systemd''' for long-running services which do not require access to physical devices or the network:
To learn about using cron jobs, refer to:
 
* The PrivateDevices setting, when set to "yes", provides a private, minimimal /dev that does not include physical devices. This allows long-running services to have limited access, increasing security.
* `man 1 crontab`
* The PrivateNetwork setting, when set to "yes", provides a private network with only a loopback interface. This allows long-running services that do not require network access to be cut off from the network.
* `man 5 crontab`
 
* `man 8 cron`

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.

To learn about using cron jobs, refer to:
