conga bug fix update

Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated conga packages that fix a regression introduced between Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.3 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 are now available.
Description
The Conga project is a management system for remote workstations. It
consists of luci, a secure web-based front-end, and ricci, a secure daemon
that dispatches incoming messages to the underlying management modules.
This update applies the following bug fix:
- the behavior of the virsh command changed between Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.3 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux
5.4, non-root users must add a "--read-only" flag to virsh commands for
them to work correctly. The ricci component of conga runs the "virsh
nodeinfo" command to determine whether a node can host a Virtual Machine
service and it does so as a non-root user.
As a consequence, when run under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4, running this
command returned no information and the luci front-end did not provide an
"Add a virtual machine service" option to Services in the Cluster tab for
clusters that were expected to offer such services. With this update, ricci
now runs a "virsh nodeinfo --readonly" command, in line with the changed
behavior, and the web-based front end will provide options to add virtual
machine services as expected. (BZ#537209)
All conga users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
