rhn-client-tools bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated rhn-client-tools packages that fix one bug and add one enhancement are
now available.

Description

Red Hat Network Client Tools provide programs and libraries that allow systems
to receive software updates from Red Hat Network (RHN).

This update fixes the following bug:

• The RHN Proxy did not work properly if separated from a parent by a slow
  enough network. Consequently, users who attempted to download larger repodata
  files and RPMs experienced timeouts. This update changes both RHN Proxy and Red
  Hat Enterprise Linux RHN Client to allow all communications to obey a configured
  timeout value for connections. (BZ#949648)
  

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:

• While Satellite 5.3.0 now has the ability to get the number of CPUs via an API
  call, there was no function to obtain the number of sockets from the registered
  systems. This update adds a function to get the number of physical CPU sockets
  in a managed system from Satellite via an API call. (BZ#949640)
  

Users of rhn-client-tools are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix this bug 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
