Topic

Updated rhn-client-tools packages that fix several bugs and add one enhancement
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Red Hat Network Client Tools provide utilities for connecting to and receiving
content from Red Hat Network.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • If a system used multiple network interfaces, the Satellite server might have

discovered a different IP address from the one the user used to connect to Red
Hat Network. This caused Red Hat Network to display incorrect information in the
web UI. The underlying source code has been modified, so that the correct IP is
now discovered and also the correct information displayed in the web UI.
(BZ#784964)

  • Multiple-server failover did not work properly; a socket error could occur

when multiple servers were configured. This update ensures that the user can
configure additional servers to try if the first option fails. (BZ#842834)

  • Previously, the rhn-channel utility could ignore configured proxy servers when

used with certain options, for example, "--available channels". This problem has
been fixed and the specified proxy servers are used as expected in this
scenario. (BZ#815695)

  • Due to a bug in the source code, the rhn_register utility could throw a

traceback during registration if a USB device was connected in the system. The
bug has been fixed, and Red Hat Network registrations work correctly in this
scenario. (BZ#811641)

  • Previously, the rhn-profile-sync utility exited with an incorrect exit code if

an error occurred. This update ensures that rhn-profile-sync exits with the
correct exit code. (BZ#839791)

  • Previously, the firstboot and rhn_register GUIs displayed confusing or

conflicting information that did not reflect changes to Subscription Manager.
The text has been updated to be clearer and specific. (BZ#823551)

  • The rhn_check utility failed with a traceback if another instance of rhn_check

was running. With this update, if the user attempts to run rhn_check while
another instance is running, an appropriate error message will be displayed.
(BZ#830776)

  • An outdated example icon was displayed on the Set Up Software Update screen in

firstboot. The icon has been replaced to provide an example that matches what
users see on their system. (BZ#810315)

  • Previously, attempting to subscribe to a non-existent channel using the

rhn-channel utility failed with a traceback. With this update, an informative
error message appears in this scenario. (BZ#839935)

  • This update fixes a typo that previously existed in the text of the

rhn_register user interface. (BZ#786422)

  • The rhn-channel utility did not properly parse certain methods used for

specifying command-line options. As a consequence, rhn-channel could fail with a
traceback. This update ensures that rhn-channel can properly parse various ways
that options are commonly specified in bash. (BZ#846359)

  • Titles for some windows in the rhn_register GUI did not follow standard title

capitalization; some titles were lowercase. This update ensures that the titles
are uppercase where appropriate. (BZ#851657)

  • When running the rhn_register utility, the "Enter your account information"

page contained a link pointing to a non-existing web page. The link has been
fixed and now points to the correct page. (BZ#878758)

This update also adds the following enhancement:

  • The "-b" option can now be specified for the rhn-channel utility to display

the current base channel of the system. (BZ#859281)

All users of rhn-client-tools are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix these bugs and add this enhancement.

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
