RHBA-2009:1398 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
ipvsadm bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated ipvsadm packages that fix several bugs are now available.
Description
ipvsadm is a utility to administer the IP Virtual Server services offered
by the Linux kernel.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- running "service ipvsadm status" returned the status code "0" (for
"service is running") even when ipvsadm was stopped. The ipvsadm init
script has been updated and ipvsadm now only returns "0" when it is, in
fact, running. (BZ#232335)
- ipvsadm's previous start priority, 08, meant it loaded before network. If
the ipvsadm rule set contained virtual services using fwmarks, these rules
did not load properly. ipvsadm's start priority is now 11, ensuring it
loads after network and ensuring virtual services load after real network
services. (BZ#472425)
- previously you could install the debuginfo packages but, because the
makefile stripped the symbol table, they contained no data. The ipvsadm
makefile no longer strips the symbol table and installing the debuginfo
packages adds ipvsadm.debug and the debugging source as expected.
(BZ#500601)
Users of ipvsadm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
