RHBA-2009:0111 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
ppp bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated ppp package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
The ppp package contains the PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) daemon and the
documentation for PPP support. The PPP protocol provides a method for
transmitting datagrams over serial point-to-point links. PPP is usually
used to dial in to an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or other organization
over a modem and phone line.
This updated ppp package includes fixes for the following bugs:
- the pppoe-server application did not (continue to) work when the syslog
service stopped. In these updated packages, ppoe-server will continue to
work as expected even if the syslog daemon is stopped.
- unnecessary backup files were included in the ppp package, which have
been removed and which are no longer installed.
- the spec file for the ppp package contained a typo, which has been corrected.
All users of ppp are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
