Bug Fix Advisory setup bug fix update

Advisory: RHBA-2005:509-7
Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2005-10-05
Last updated on: 2005-10-05
Affected Products: Red Hat Desktop (v. 4)

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 4)

Details

An updated setup package that fixes a bug during the setting of limits on
core dump sizes is now available.

The setup package contains a set of important system configuration and
setup files, such as passwd, group, and profile.

In prior releases, bash set core dump sizes to zero by default, while csh and
tcsh set the limit to unlimited. This has been corrected, and tcsh and csh
now also set the size to zero by default.

All users of setup should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
this issue.
