3.80. sblim

Updated sblim packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Standards-Based Linux Instrumentation for Manageability (SBLIM) consists of a set of standards-based, Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) modules that use the Common Information Model (CIM) standard to gather and provide systems management information, events, and methods to local or networked consumers via an CIM object services broker using the CMPI (Common Manageability Programming Interface) standard. This package provides a set of core providers and development tools for systems management applications.

Bug Fixes

BZ#921485
Previously, if the /etc/fstab file entry used symbolic link, UUID, or LABEL for identifying a device or a file system, these file systems or devices were reported to be disabled although they were mounted. A patch has been applied to fix this bug, and file systems and devices are now correctly reported as mounted.
BZ#959892
Previously, the wbemcli CIM Client did not accept full stop (.) as a password character on the command line. With the updated source code, the user is no longer limited in the use of full stops because passwords containing this character are now accepted.
BZ#971056
While enumerating the Linux_Processor class instances on systems with dynamic CPU frequencies, the MaxClockSpeed property was determined incorrectly. It showed the same value as the CurrentClockSpeed property, which is supposed to be lower. The underlying source code has been modified, and the value of MaxClockSpeed now correctly shows the real maximum processor clock speed.
BZ#974075
Prior to this update, the sblim-cmpi-base provider was scanning wrong fields of the /proc/[pid]/stat file. Consequently, the values for UserModeTime and KernelModeTime properties in CIM class Linux_UnixProcess were incorrectly calculated. With this update, correct fields are read, and UserModeTime and KernelModeTime are calculated correctly.
Users of sblim are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
