Topic

Updated initscripts packages that fix several bugs and add two enhancements are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The initscripts packages contain basic system scripts to boot the system, change
runlevels, activate and deactivate most network interfaces, and shut down the
system cleanly.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Previously, certain network device drivers did not accept ethtool commands

right after they appeared in the user-space. As a consequence, the current
setting of the specified device driver was not applied and an error message was
returned. This update adds the ETHTOOL_DELAY variable, which makes sure the
ethtool utility waits for some time before it tries to apply the options
settings, thus fixing the bug. (BZ#1018095)

  • When issuing a reboot or halt, the system sometimes killed the S01reboot

process and never completed the reboot or shutdown. This update changes the
regex for the sed utility to fix this bug, and the S01reboot process now
completes successfully. (BZ#1024561)

  • Previously, the ipcalc utility handled netmask parameters incorrectly using

the "-c" option. As a consequence, invalid CIDR was ignored and netmask in
allowed format was not accepted. The updated "-c" option validates IP addresses
for specified address families as expected, invalid CIDR is no longer ignored,
and allowed formats of netmask are accepted. (BZ#1053098)

  • Due to a race condition, the "multicast_router" and "hash_max" BRIDGING_OPTS

options failed to apply when creating the bridge. With this update,
"multicast_router" and "hash_max" are applied after the bridge is up, and
BRIDGING_OPTS options now work as intended. (BZ#1086897)

  • Prior to this update, the udev device manager called the hotplug script when a

VLAN network was added. However, because the VLAN network has the same default
hardware address as the default network adapter device, hotplug reverted the
network adapter's IP configuration to the values in the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ directory, and in some cases disconnected the
network adapter. This update removes the triggering of the hotplug script for
VLAN networks and, as a result, the network adapter now retains its IP address,
and thus no longer fails. (BZ#1101795)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancements:

  • Previously, the only way to set up VLAN ID was through the name of the new

virtual device (vlan10 or eth0.10). With this update, the ID can be specified by
the VID option in ifcfg file. (BZ#1005355)

  • The saved seed size in the /etc/rc.sysinit file has been increased from 512

bytes to 4096 bytes to comply with the updated crypto requirements. (BZ#1023471)

  • With this update, the user can set PRIO and AGEING options for bridges in

ifcfg files, which allow ageing to be set in ifcfg-* scripts. (BZ#1082765,
BZ#1099486)

Users of initscripts are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs and add these enhancements.

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
