Trustix Secure Linux Bugfix Advisory #2005-0002

Package name:      glibc iproute setup tsl-utils
Summary:           Package bugfixes
Date:              2005-01-13
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.1
                   Trustix Secure Linux 2.2
                   Trustix Operating System - Enterprise Server 2

Package description:
  glibc:
  The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by
  multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and
  memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is
  kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package
  contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C
  library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a
  Linux system will not function.  The glibc package also contains
  national language (locale) support and timezone databases.

  iproute:
  Linux 2.X maintains compatibility with the basic configuration utilities
  of the network (ifconfig, route) but a new utility is required to exploit
  the new characteristics and features of the kernel. This package includes
  the new utilities (/sbin/ip, /sbin/rtmon).

  setup:
  The setup package contains a set of important system configuration and
  setup files, such as passwd, group, and profile.

  tsl-utils:
  The Trustix Secure Linux utils is a set of utilities and scripts that are
  made in the development process, and that really fit in no other package.


Problem description:
  glibc:
  Added success/failure to nscd.init to make it consistent with other
  init scripts.

  iproute:
  Now make /etc/iproute2/* config(noreplace).

  setup:
  Added lmtp ports in /etc/services.

  tsl-utils:
  Now handle more release tags in kernel names.  Take II.


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.
