RHBA-2011:0790 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
shadow-utils bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Lightspeed patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated shadow-utils package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The shadow-utils package includes programs for converting UNIX password files to
the shadow password format, as well as tools for managing user and group
accounts.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the pam_tally.so module was used to write to /var/log/faillog.
Since the module is no longer shipped, the faillog application that reads that
file became obsolete. This update removes faillog from Red Hat Enterprise Linux
6. (BZ#675168)
All users of shadow-utils are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
fixes this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
