Synopsis
tmpwatch bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated tmpwatch package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The tmpwatch utility recursively searches through specified directories and
removes files which have not been accessed in a specified period of time.
Tmpwatch is normally used to clean up directories which are used for temporarily
holding files (for example, /tmp).
This update fixes the following bug:
- When searching for files or directories to remove, tmpwatch was reporting all
failures to access these files or directories. This included expected access
failures due to the restrictive default configuration of FUSE mount points. With
this update, tmpwatch now silently ignores all EACCES errors, and the expected
access failures regarding FUSE mount points are no longer reported. (BZ#722856)
All users are advised to upgrade to this updated tmpwatch 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
