Topic

Updated watchdog package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The watchdog package provides a user-space application which can be configured
to provide updates to a hardware or software watchdog timer via the Linux
kernel's watchdog interface.

The watchdog package has been upgraded to upstream version 5.6, which provides
one bug fix over the previous version. The previous version failed to reset the
Ipmi Linux watchdog timer on a Sun Fire X4100 server. Consequently, the system
started to reboot continuously if the watchdog daemon was started. A patch has
been applied to address this bug, and resetting the watchdog timer now works as
expected on Sun Fire X4100. (BZ#870217)

Users of watchdog are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant
