From: bugzilla@redhat.com To: redhat-watch-list@redhat.com Subject: [RHBA-2001:049-04] New radvd packages are available Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2001 14:59 -0400 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Bug Fix Advisory Synopsis: New radvd packages are available Advisory ID: RHBA-2001:049-04 Issue date: 2001-04-16 Updated on: 2001-04-19 Product: Red Hat Powertools Keywords: Cross references: Obsoletes: --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: New radvd packages are available which fix a problem with radvd not working properly when starting it from the initscript. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Powertools 7.1 - i386 3. Problem description: The radvd packages shipped in Red Hat Powertools have two problems with starting properly. The first is if "NETWORKING_IPV6" is set to "yes" in the initscript, radvd would not start. The second problem is the appearance of a hanging shell when restarting radvd over the network. This was caused by the initscript not closing stdin, stdout, and stderr at the fork. The package also had radvd run as root. The new package runs as user radvd. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info): 30508 - service xxx restart hangs openssh sessions at logout 6.
