An updated setup package that fixes a bug and adds various enhancements is
now available.
The setup package contains a set of important system configuration and
setup files, such as passwd, group, and profile.
This updated setup package fixes a bug which caused the PATH environment
variable to not be usable by non-interactive shells after it had been set
by certain shell scripts in the /etc/profile.d/ directory. With this
updated package, scripts from the /etc/profile.d/ directory are processed
even in non-interactive mode, though no output is shown.
In addition, this updated package provides the following enhancements:
* this updated setup package reserves the new "condor" user ID and group ID
and the userid (UID) and groupid (GID) numbers (64:64), which should
prevent accidental usage of that UID/GID pair by other packages and
administrators. Condor is a specialized workload management system for
compute-intensive jobs.
* this updated setup package reserves the new "puppet" user ID and group ID
and the userid (UID) and groupid (GID) numbers (52:52), which should
prevent accidental usage of that UID/GID pair by other packages and
administrators. Puppet is an automated system administration engine that
performs tasks such as adding users, installing packages, and updating
server configurations based on a centralized specification language.
* this updated setup package reserves the new "pkiuser" user ID and group
ID and the userid (UID) and groupid (GID) numbers (17:17), which should
prevent accidental usage of that UID/GID pair by other packages and
administrators. The "pkiuser" user and group IDs are used in subsystems
associated with the Red Hat Certificate System.
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated setup package, which fixes
this bug and adds these enhancements.
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
