Synopsis

ricci bug-fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ricci packages that fix various bugs are now available.

Description

The ricci packages contain a daemon and a client which allow a cluster to be configured and managed remotely.

This update addresses the following bugs:

  • Ricci no longer sends non-SSL data when it has reached its maximum number of connections. (BZ#652837)

  • Ricci no longer depends on the the root user password to permit access; authentication is now done using the ricci user password. (BZ#644047)

  • Ricci can now be configured remotely using ccs. (BZ#614647)

  • Nodes can now be started and stopped using ccs. (BZ#623734)

  • A man page has been added for ricci. (BZ#602399)

  • It is now possible to pipe passwords into ccs_sync. (BZ#682317)

  • ccs now fails (with an error) if a non-validating cluster.conf file is used. (BZ#682868)

  • When an incorrect password is entered for a node in ccs_sync, it no longer continues to ask for the password in an endless loop. (BZ#682323)

All users of ricci are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which address these issues.
