Trustix Secure Linux Bugfix Advisory #2003-0051

Package name:      findutils, setup
Summary:           minor bugfix, unrelated
Date:              2003-12-22
Affected versions: TSL 2.0

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
  The findutils package contains programs which will help you locate files on
  your system. The find utility searches through a hierarchy of directories
  looking for files which match a certain set of criteria (such as a filename
  pattern). The xargs utility builds and executes command lines from standard
  input arguments (usually lists of file names generated by the find
  command).You should install findutils because it includes tools that are very
  useful for finding things on your system.

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


Problem description:
  The findutils package did not support files > 2GB, and the setup package
  included unsetting the LANG variable in /etc/profile, which is wrong.


Action:
  We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
