Trustix Secure Linux Advisory #2004-0067

Package name:      anaconda, mailcap, mkinitrd, vim, postgresql, ntp, sqlgrey
                   db4, rsync, postgresql
Summary:           Package bugfixes
Date:              2004-12-17
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.1
                   Trustix Secure Linux 2.2
                   Trustix Operating System - Enterprise Server 2

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
  anaconda:
  The anaconda package contains portions of the Trustix Secure Linux
  installation program which can then be run by the user for
  reconfiguration and advanced installation options.
  Based on Red Hat anaconda 7.2 and 7.3
  
  db4:
  The Berkeley Database (Berkeley DB) is a programmatic toolkit that
  provides embedded database support for both traditional and
  client/server applications. The Berkeley DB includes B+tree, Extended
  Linear Hashing, Fixed and Variable-length record access methods,
  transactions, locking, logging, shared memory caching, and database
  recovery. The Berkeley DB supports C, C++, Java, and Perl APIs. It is
  used by many applications, including Python and Perl, so this should
  be installed on all systems.
  
  mailcap:
  The mailcap file is used by the metamail program.  Metamail reads the
  mailcap file to determine how it should display non-text or multimedia
  material.  Basically, mailcap associates a particular type of file
  with a particular program that a mail agent or other program can call
  in order to handle the file.
  
  mkinitrd:
  Mkinitrd creates filesystem images for use as initial ramdisk (initrd)
  images.  These ramdisk images are often used to preload the block
  device modules (SCSI or RAID) needed to access the root filesystem.
  
  ntp:
  The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize a computer's
  time with another reference time source. The ntp package contains
  utilities and daemons that will synchronize your computer's time to
  Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) via the NTP protocol and NTP servers.
  The ntp package includes ntpdate (a program for retrieving the date
  and time from remote machines via a network) and ntpd (a daemon which
  continuously adjusts system time).
  
  postgresql:
  PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system
  (DBMS) that supports almost all SQL constructs (including
  transactions, subselects and user-defined types and functions). The
  postgresql package includes the client programs and libraries that
  you'll need to access a PostgreSQL DBMS server.  These PostgreSQL
  client programs are programs that directly manipulate the internal
  structure of PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server. These client
  programs can be located on the same machine with the PostgreSQL
  server, or may be on a remote machine which accesses a PostgreSQL
  server over a network connection. This package contains the docs
  in HTML for the whole package, as well as command-line utilities for
  managing PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server.
  
  rsync:
  Rsync uses a quick and reliable algorithm to very quickly bring
  remote and host files into sync.  Rsync is fast because it just
  sends the differences in the files over the network (instead of
  sending the complete files). Rsync is often used as a very powerful
  mirroring process or just as a more capable replacement for the
  rcp command.  A technical report which describes the rsync algorithm
  is included in this package.
  
  sqlgrey:
  SQLgrey is a Postfix grey-listing policy service with auto-white-listing
  written in Perl with SQL database as storage backend.
  Greylisting stops 50 to 90 % junk mails (spam and virus) before they
  reach your Postfix server (saves BW, user time and CPU time).
  
  vim:
  VIM (VIsual editor iMproved) is an updated and improved version of the vi
  editor.  Vi was the first real screen-based editor for UNIX, and is still
  very popular.  VIM improves on vi by adding new features: multiple windows,
  multi-level undo, block highlighting and more.
  

Problem description:
  anaconda:
  The previous attempt to get PXE booting working with more network cards
  turned out not to work.  This update fixes that.

  db4:
  Applied the latest patch from Sleepycat with the hopes that it makes
  the sleep under high load as reported go away.

  mailcap:
  Fix incorrect entries.

  mkinitrd:
  Now use the old, static insmod.  This should make certain SATA controllers
  work.

  ntp:
  authenticate is not a valid configuration statement.  Removed.

  postgresql:
  In TSL 2.2, this is an upgrade to 8.0.0 RC 1.

  In TSL 2.1, this is a fix to make stop() in initscript actually say
  that it is stopping.

  rsync:
  Add missing initscript.

  sqlgrey:
  Now be more robust against odd characthers.

  vim:
  Fix modelines.


Action:
  We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
  Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this
  package, you may want to remove it from your system.
