Topic

Updated initscripts packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

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:

  • In Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 6.7 and 6.8, executing the ifdown command on a local loopback device failed to remove the device. A patch has been applied, and the removal of an existing loopback device using ifdown now succeeds. (BZ#1420053)

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

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
