Topic

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

Description

The dropwatch package contains a utility that provides packet monitoring
services.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, the dropwatch utility could become unresponsive because

it was waiting for a deactivation acknowledgement to be issued by an already
deactivated or stopped service. With this update, dropwatch detects an attempt
to deactivate/stop an already deactivated/stopped service and no longer hangs.
(BZ#725464)

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

Solution

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

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat
Network to apply this update are available at
