RHBA-2010:0989 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated Red Hat Network Satellite package that restores startup behavior of
jabberd is now available for Red Hat Network Satellite 5.4.

Description

Red Hat Network Satellite is part of a systems management tool for Linux-based
infrastructures. It allows for provisioning, remote management and monitoring of
multiple Linux deployments with a single, centralized tool.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, the init script contained two regressions. The init script for

jabberd 2.2 allowed only for the default limit of 1024 open files during
startup. This update restores the value of 2048 from Satellite 5.3. If the
database files would get corrupted, jabberd would not start. This update removes
these files during startup. (BZ#657512)

All Red Hat Network Satellite users are advised to upgrade to this updated
package, which resolves this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
