RHBA-2006:0396 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
initscripts bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated initscripts packages that fix various bugs are now available.
Description
The initscripts package contains the basic system scripts used to boot
your Red Hat system, change runlevels, and shut the system down cleanly.
Initscripts also contains the scripts that activate and deactivate most
network interfaces.
Bugs fixed include:
- File systems mounted on paths starting with /sys were not unmounted
correctly during shutdown.
- Under certain conditions, network interfaces were activated by hotplug
during system boot although they were configured not to be activated on
boot.
Enhancements include:
- New configuration variables NETWORKDELAY and LINKDELAY were added to
allow spanning tree negotiation to complete before using the newly
activated network interfaces.
- Documentation for the HOTPLUG configuration variable was added.
Users are advised to upgrade to these updated initscripts packages, which
resolve these issues. To fix the unwanted network interface activation, it
is also necessary to upgrade the hotplug package to release 2004_04_01-7.7
or later.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
