RHBA-2005:749 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
salinfo bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated salinfo package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The salinfo package contains Red Hat-specific and community salinfo
utilities used to decode SAL records on Itanium platforms.
This errata effects all Itanium systems except SGI's Altix systems.
It was noted that the salinfo daemon, salinfod, was not running at first
boot after an RPM installation. To start salinfod, a user was required
to enter 'chkconfig salinfod on' and 'service salinfod start'. The default
behaviour has been altered such that the daemon now runs and processes SAL
messages and errors at the first boot after installation without user input.
All users of salinfo should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. 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.
