RHBA-2009:0294 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
unix2dos bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated unix2dos2 packages that resolve a bug are now available.
Description
The unix2dos utility converts UNIX text files to DOS or MAC format.
This updated package provides a fix for the following bug:
- when unix2dos created a new file as the output of its conversion (when
run with the -n option), the new file would always have its permission mode
set as 600, regardless of the permission mode of the original file.
Unix2dos now sets the permission mode for the new file to be the same as
the mode of the old file, filtered through the user's umask.
Users of unix2dos should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
this issue.
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
