rhn-ssl-cert-tools bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated rhn-ssl-cert-tools package that addresses an issue with a
mistakenly installed spacewalk-ssl-cert-check package generating nightly
cron errors is now available.

Description

rhn-ssl-cert-tools runs a check once a day to see if the ssl certificates
installed on a server are expected to expire in the next 30 days. If they
are, the tool sends an email alert to the system's administrator account.

This update addresses the following issue:

• as part of the RHN Satellite 5.3.0 release, the spacewalk-ssl-cert-check
  package was mistakenly placed in the RHN Tools channels. As a consequence,
  anyone subscribed to the RHN Tools channel and using RHN Satellite or RHN
  Proxy versions 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2 saw spurious cron errors
  generated nightly. This updated package checks during installation and
  removes the spacewalk-ssl-cert-check package if found, replacing it with
  rhn-ssl-cert-check and preventing the spurious cron errors from appearing.
  (BZ#524053)
  

All users running RHN Satellite version 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2
should install this updated package which fixes this problem.
