Details

An updated redhat-config-network package that fixes the removal of
comments in modules.conf is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.

The network configuration tool redhat-config-network supports the
configuration of Ethernet, Token Ring, ADSL, ISDN, and PPP
network connections.

The redhat-config-network tool stripped comments at the end of a line in
modules.conf, specifically if before the comment is an entry for a loadable
module.


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.
