Synopsis
iputils bug fix
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated iputils package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.
Description
iputils is a set of basic utilities for monitoring a network, including ping.
This updated iputils package fixes the following bugs:
- previously, updating the iputils package caused the rdisc (network router
discovery daemon) to restart, which in some cases could break the network
connectivity. With this update, the rdisc daemon is only restarted if it ran
before the update was initiated. (BZ#617565)
- previously,the ping (8) manual page had insufficient descriptions of the "-c
count" and "-w deadline" ping options. Now, the improved descriptions contain a
more detailed account of the interaction between these options. (BZ#618613)
All iputils users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
these issues and provides this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
