RHBA-2013:0097 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated rhnsd packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.

Description

The rhnsd packages provide the Red Hat Network Services Daemon, a system service
that automatically queries the Red Hat Network servers, determines which
packages on the machine need to be updated, and performs appropriate actions.

This update fixes the following bug:

• The /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd configuration file allows the system

administrator to specify how many minutes the rhnsd service waits before
checking the Red Hat Network for available updates and actions again. The
previous version of the rhnsd service would incorrectly log a message telling
the user that this interval is specified in seconds. This update corrects the
wording of this log message. (BZ#800127)

All users of rhnsd 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.

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
