RHBA-2015:1743 - radvd bug fix update


Synopsis

radvd bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated radvd packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The radvd packages provide the router advertisement daemon for IPv6 that listens to router solicitations and sends router advertisements. With these advertisements, hosts can automatically configure their addresses and certain other parameters. The hosts can also choose a default router based on these advertisements.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • The radvd daemon is supposed to install its configuration files in the /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ directory. Prior to this update, radvd installed them in the /etc/tmpfiles.d/ directory, which was incorrect because /etc/tmpfiles.d/ is reserved for the local administrator. With this update, radvd installs its configuration files in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ as expected. (BZ#1180991)

Users of radvd 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.
