RHBA-2017:0221 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated initscripts packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 Extended Update Support.

Description

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

This update fixes the following bug:

Users of initscripts are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
