Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated system-config-services package that fixes several bugs is now
available.
Description
system-config-services is a utility which allows you to configure which
services should be enabled on your machine.
This updated system-config-services package includes fixes for the
following bugs:
- as included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, system-config-services has
several new options that were not properly documented in the Help files
available via the Help menu. These undocumented options include a "Runlevel
All" option under "Edit RunLevel" and an "On Demand Services" tab. Updated
documentation that covers these options has been written and added to the
Help menu directory: /usr/share/doc/system-config-services-0.9.4/html/.
(BZ#208170, BZ#370461)
- po files used to populate the German-language version of the
system-config-services user interface were not properly UTF-8 encoded: they
contained incorrect characters that resulted in a nonsense strings
presenting when the application was used in German. These characters have
been corrected to their corresponding UTF-8 characters, ensuring they
display properly in German locales. (BZ#284931)
- After making changes to on-demand xinetd services, clicking "Restart" in
the "Background Services" tab resulted in a traceback. This updated version
restarts the selected background service as expected and correctly handles
xinetd service changes. (BZ#445185)
- if a non-existent service name was added (via the Actions > Add Service
dialog box), system-config-services provided no user-level feedback of the
error but did write a traceback error to the console. With this update,
system-config-services presents an error alert box when a non-existent
service is added and no longer produces a traceback error. This update also
addresses an equivalent problem that occurred when deleting a disabled
service via Actions > Delete Service. This action now works as expected.
(BZ#500424)
All system-config-services users should install this updated package which
addresses these issues.
