rhnsd bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated rhnsd package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The rhnsd package includes the Red Hat Update Agent that automatically queries
the Red Hat Network servers and determines which packages need to be updated on
your machine, and runs any actions.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, it was not possible to reload the Red Hat Update Agent (rhnsd)
service configuration properly. This was due to the bug in reading the service
configuration during the service startup. The bug has been fixed in this update
so that the service configuration can now be reloaded as expected. (BZ#502234)
- Previously, the Red Hat Update Agent (rhnsd) failed to find the systemid file
if the file was stored in a non-standard location. The fix for the bug has been
provided in this update so that the systemid file location is now determined
from reading the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date file. (BZ#524886)
All users requiring rhnsd are advised to upgrade to this updated package which
fixes these bugs.
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
