Details

An updated net-tools package that fixes various bugs is now available.

The net-tools package contains basic networking tools, including ifconfig,
netstat, route, and others.

This updated package addresses the following issues:

* PID/Program column of netstat is displayed for i-node number larger than
0x7FFFFFFF.

* the hostname man page describes the difference between gethostbyname and
gethostname functions.

All users of net-tools should upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.


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
