1.58.1. RHBA-2011:0979: ipvsadm bug fix update

An updated ipvsadm package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The ipvsadm package provides the ipsvadm tool to administer the IP Virtual Server services offered by the Linux kernel.
This update fixes the following bug:
* Prior to this update, the kernel module ipvs was automatically loaded if the ipvsadm module was not loaded when checking the ipvsadm service status. This behavior affected the system configuration, especially the memory usage. This update ensures that the ipvsadm service status check does not load the kernel module on systems without the loaded ipsvadm module. (BZ#592264)
All users of ipvsadm are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
