Synopsis
net-tools bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated net-tools packages that fix various bugs are now available.
Description
The net-tools package contains basic networking tools, including ifconfig,
netstat, route, and others.
This update applies the following fixes:
- Fixed netstat output; when using --interface=ethX 1 the counters stayed
unchanged.
- The French man pages are shown correctly.
- The ifconfig utility correctly works with long interface names.
All users of net-tools should upgrade to these updated packages, which
apply these fixes.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. 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
