Advisory: RHEA-2002:183-11
Type: Product Enhancement Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2003-12-19
Last updated on: 2003-12-19
Affected Products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 2.1)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 2.1)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v. 2.1)
Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 for the Itanium Processor
OVAL: N/A

Details

Quota update enhances compatibility with version 2 quota accounting files.

The previous version of quota was not able to handle version 2 quota files
properly. This errata handles both version 1 and version 2 quota accounting
files correctly.

Also included in this update are various small bugfixes.

It is recommended that you upgrade to this version if you have enabled
quotas on your system.


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.
