The bind package provides a DNS server (named), which resolves host names to IP addresses, and tools for control and verification of the DNS server. The bind-libs package provides the libraries used by the DNS server and bind-utils. The bind-utils package provides DNS lookup utilities: host(1), dig(1), and nslookup. The bind-devel package provides header files for development with the BIND libraries. A default set of DNS server configuration files is provided by the caching-nameserver package.This update delivers backports from ISC BIND 9.2.6 to apply these fixes:- If a lookup for another name server's addresses returned addresses that were unreachable via local routers, lookups for names in domains for which that server is authoritative could experience a four second delay per name not in the cache. No delay is now incurred for addresses served by servers with unreachable addresses.- Fixes to named's thread locking logic: This feature in ISC BIND 9.3.0+ was backported and delivered in this update. *************************************************************** Title: RHBA-2006:0289 - Alsa-Utils Bug Fix Update - Red Hat Enterprise 4.0 Severity: Fixlet ID: 200628901 Fixlet Link: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2006-0289.html Fixlet Description: Updated alsa-utils packages that fix a sound problem are now available.The alsa-utils package contains command line utilities for the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA).Previously, the sound test failed to give audible sound at firstboot for the following hardware: - Hewlett-Packard workstation: Hewlett-Packard xw4300 - Sound Blaster Live! - Sound Blaster Audigy - Intel ICH4/ICH5This occured even though sound was functioning properly.

The automount daemons automatically mount and unmount file systems after a period of inactivity. File systems can include network file systems, CD-ROMs, diskettes, and other media.These updated packages apply the following bug fixes:- Fixed: when selecting the source of a map when no type is specified in the master map, the automounter did not honour the name service switch selection order.- The automounter now supports the use of included maps.- The -debuginfo package now contains valid debug data. Previously, all of the binaries were stripped.- The automounter will now recognize more than one direct map specified in the master map. Note that the direct map limitations, as described in /usr/share/doc/autofs-4.1.3/README. direct, still apply.- Fixed: when looking up an invalid entry, the automounter erroneously determined that the map contents had changed. As a result, it re-read the entire map and, if ghosting was enabled, it also removed and remade all of the directories associated with the keys in that map. This resulted in long delays.All users of autofs should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues. *************************************************************** Title: RHBA-2006:0468 - Gftp Bug Fix Update - Red Hat Enterprise 4.0 Severity: Fixlet ID: 200646801 Fixlet Link: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2006-0468.html Fixlet Description: Updated gftp packages that fix a 64bit portability problem are now available.

However, if the crash occurred while operating on the other four exception stacks, the STACKFAULT, DOUBLEFAULT, DEBUG, and MCE stacks, the "bt" command showed an invalid backtrace because those stacks were not searched. This version of the crash utility searches all five 64-bit architecture exception stacks for the panic task backtrace starting point.These packages contains fixes for the "net -s" and "net -S" commands. The "net -s" command now translates IPV6 addresses and ports instead of leaving those fields empty. Further, the "net -S" command now properly shows the "socket" and "sock" structure contents for each open socket of a task.The "vm -p" command option failed with a "pml page" read error when run on a 64-bit architecture user process.

The Windows NT, OS/2, and Linux operating systems support this natively, and add-on packages can enable the same thing for DOS, Windows, VMS, UNIX of all kinds, MVS, and more.

The overall purpose of DHCP is to make it easier to administer a large network. The dhcp package includes the ISC DHCP service daemon, dhcpd, and a DHCP relay agent, dhcrelay, while the dhclient package provides the ISC DHCP client daemon dhclient.To use DHCP on your network, install the dhcp package, run the dhcpd or dhcrelay daemon on a server, and on clients run the dhclient daemon.This update provides an enhancement to the ISC DHCP client, dhclient, to provide better support for DHCP clients running on IBM z/OS Linux Guests : o A new `-I <dhcp-client-identifier>' dhclient command line option allows the dhcp client identifier option to be specified on the command line. For clients such as z/OS Linux guests with the z/OS `Layer 2 option', which do not have unique ethernet addresses, this option must be sent to uniquely identify the client to the server. The dhcp-client-identifier option can also be specified in /etc/dhclient. conf or /etc/dhclient-${interface}. conf. o A new `-B' dhclient command line option to make the client set the bootp broadcast flag in the DHCPDISCOVER packet, so that the server will send the DHCPOFFER and DHCPACK packets to the broadcast IP address. This is necessary on clients such as IBM z/OS Linux guests with the z/OS `Layer 2 option', which share the same physical network interface, and where unicast replies cannot be received until the virtual per-client interface is configured with an IP address. There is also a new 'bootp-broadcast-always;' dhclient. conf statement that will also enable this flag.Users of dhcp and dhclient should upgrade to these updated packages, which add these enhancements. *************************************************************** Title: RHEA-2006:0355 - Oprofile Enhancement Update - Red Hat Enterprise 4.0 Severity: Fixlet ID: 200635501 Fixlet Link: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2006-0355.html Fixlet Description: An oprofile enhancement update that provides support for POWER5+ and uses the current event names for POWER4 and POWER5 is now available.The oprofile package contains a profiling system for systems running the Linux kernel.
