RHBA-2009:0145 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
rhnlib bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated rhnlib package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
rhnlib is a collection of Python modules used by the Red Hat Network (RHN)
software.
This updated package fixes the following bugs:
- the rhnreg_ks command did not handle incorrect server URLs. If the
location specified with the "--serverURL" option could not be contacted,
rhnreg_ks would hang indefinitely as a consequence. With this update,
rhnreg_ks terminates with the error message: "Error communicating with
server. The message was: Not Found" if the server cannot be contacted.
- previously, rhnreg_ks had a default timeout value of 30 seconds, which
may have resulted in a loss of connection when interacting with busy
servers. With this update, the default timeout value has been increased,
which resolves this issue.
All users of rhnlib are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
addresses 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
