net-tools bug fix update

An updated net-tools package that corrects the ifconfig man page for
various issues is now available.

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

This updated net-tools package includes fixes for the following
documentation-related bugs:

* the "tunnel" parameter of the ifconfig(8) man page did not make it clear
that the IP address was not just the IPv4 address, but actually IPv6
address notation for the IPv4 address. In this updated package, this part
of the man page has been made clearer.

* the "metric" parameter of the ifconfig(8) man page stated that the metric
value could be changed on the command line, which is not true under Linux.
Instead, the "metric" parameter can be set by editing the appropriate
"ifcfg-interface" (where "interface" might be "eth0") configuration file in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and adding a value for the "METRIC"
parameter, like so:

METRIC=value

In these updated packages, the ifconfig(8) man page has been updated with
this corrected information on how to change the "METRIC" parameter.

All users requiring net-tools should install this updated package, which
includes these man page corrections.

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
