RHBA-2013:0097 - rhnsd bug fix update

Synopsis

rhnsd bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated rhnsd packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The rhnsd packages provide the Red Hat Network Services Daemon, a system service that automatically queries the Red Hat Network servers, determines which packages on the machine need to be updated, and performs appropriate actions.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • The /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd configuration file allows the system administrator to specify how many minutes the rhnsd service waits before checking the Red Hat Network for available updates and actions again. The previous version of the rhnsd service would incorrectly log a message telling the user that this interval is specified in seconds. This update corrects the wording of this log message. (BZ#800127)

All users of rhnsd are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
