Topic

Updated chkconfig packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Update Support.

Description

The basic system utility chkconfig updates and queries runlevel information for
system services.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • When installing multiple Linux Standard Base (LSB) services which only had LSB

headers, the stop priority of the related LSB init scripts could have been
miscalculated and set to "-1". With this update, the LSB init script ordering
mechanism has been fixed, and the stop priority of the LSB init scripts is now
set correctly. (BZ#797844)

  • When an LSB init script requiring the "$local_fs" facility was installed with

the "install_initd" command, the installation of the script could fail under
certain circumstances. With this update, the underlying code has been modified
to ignore this requirement because the "$local_fs" facility is always implicitly
provided. LSB init scripts with requirements on "$local_fs" are now installed
correctly. (BZ#797843)

All users of chkconfig are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs.

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
