Trustix Security Linux
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trustix Secure Linux Bugfix Advisory #2003-0001 Package name: initscripts, pam, SysVinit Summary: Minor bugfix Date: 2003-02-20 Affected versions: TSL 1.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package description: The initscripts package contains the basic system scripts used to boot your Trustix system, change run levels, and shut the system down cleanly. Initscripts also contains the scripts that activate and deactivate most network interfaces. PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is a system security tool which allows system administrators to set authentication policy without having to recompile programs which do authentication. The SysVinit package contains a group of processes that control the very basic functions of your system. SysVinit includes the init program, the first program started by the Linux kernel when the system boots. Init then controls the startup, running and shutdown of all other programs. Problem description: A dependency loop exists between several package including initscripts, pam and SysVinit, that causes the installer to complaint. This update removes the loop, as it was not needed. Action: We recommend that all systems with this packages installed be upgraded. Location: All TSL updates are available from <URI:http://www.trustix.net/pub/Trustix/updates/> <URI:ftp://ftp.trustix.net/pub/Trustix/updates/> About Trustix Secure Linux: Trustix Secure Linux is a small Linux distribution for servers.
