oddjob bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated oddjob packages which fix this bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The oddjob service runs specified privileged tasks for unprivileged client
applications which communicate with it through the system message bus.

These updated oddjob packages fix the following bug:

• Previously, the oddjob daemon closed shared connections when it was stopped.
  Consequently oddjob crashed when shutting down because it incorrectly attempted
  to close its default connection to the system message bus. With this update,
  oddjob allows the connection to be closed implicitly when the process exits,
  avoiding the crash. (BZ#628683)
  

All users of oddjob are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, 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
