RHBA-2012:0404 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated rusers packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The rusers program allows users to find out who is logged into various machines
on the local network. The rusers command produces output similar to output of
the who utility, but for the specified list of hosts or for all machines on the
local network.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, no dependency on the rpcbind package was specified in the rstatd

and rusers SysV init scripts. In addition, when the rstatd and rusersd services
were started, a check to see if networking was enabled was not performed, and an
incorrect exit code was returned. This update adds rpcbind dependency to the
rusersd and rstatd init scripts. Also, the SysV init scripts have been adjusted
to return correct exit codes. Checks are now performed when starting the rstatd
and rusersd services to see whether networking is available and binding to
rpcbind was successful. (BZ#697862)

All users of rusers are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

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