RHBA-2007:0289 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
quota bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated quota packages that fix various bugs are now available.
Description
The quota package contains system administration tools for monitoring
and limiting user and group disk usage for each file system listed in
/etc/mtab. The quota package prints only the user quotas by default. For
file systems that are NFS-mounted, a call to rpc.rquotad on the server
machine is performed to get the information.
This updated package addresses the following issues
- Quota now checks to make sure a valid port is passed with the -p option
- A bug was fixed which under certain circumstances would case quota to
print random characters.
All users of quota packages should upgrade to these updated packages,
which correct these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat
Update Agent, use the following command:
