Topic

Updated yum-rhn-plugin packages that fix one bug are now available.

Description

The yum-rhn-plugin package provides support for connecting to Red Hat Network
(RHN). Systems registered with RHN are able to update and install packages from
Red Hat Network.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • The RHN Proxy did not work properly if separated from a parent by a slow

enough network. Consequently, users who attempted to download larger repodata
files and RPMs experienced timeouts. This update changes both RHN Proxy and Red
Hat Enterprise Linux RHN Client to allow all communications to obey a configured
timeout value for connections. (BZ# 949649)

Users of yum-rhn-plugin are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix this bug.

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
