Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Topic
Updated iputils packages are available for Red Hat Linux Advanced Server
2.1 which extends the options of the ifenslave utility.
Description
The iputils package contains basic utilities for monitoring a network.
The ifenslave application of the iputils package does not allow the removal
of a slave. This errata update contains a patch to the ifenslave
application which adds this option.
It is recommended to upgrade to the errata iputils package only if you need
this new option to the ifenslave utility.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
