RHBA-2007:0424 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
chkconfig bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated chkconfig packages are now available that fix handling of symbolic
links.
Description
Chkconfig is a basic system utility that updates and queries runlevel
information for system services. chkconfig manipulates the numerous
symbolic links in /etc/rc.d, relieving system administrators of some of the
drudgery of manually editing the symbolic links.
Previously, chkconfig would abort if it encountered a dangling symbolic
link in /etc/init.d. This has been corrected; chkconfig now prints an error
regarding the dangling link, and continues.
Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. 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.
