RHEA-2002:183 - Product Enhancement Advisory
Synopsis
Quota update for V1/V2 quota files
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Topic
Quota update enhances compatibility with version 2 quota accounting files.
Description
The previous version of quota was not able to handle version 2 quota files
properly. This errata handles both version 1 and version 2 quota accounting
files correctly.
Also included in this update are various small bugfixes.
It is recommended that you upgrade to this version if you have enabled
quotas on your system.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
