Fedora Core 3 NetworkManager 0.3.4 Critical Fixes: DoS Issues Addressed

fedora
Calendar Grey March 14, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora Core 3 NetworkManager 0.3.4 update resolves DoS issues and includes various fixes. Check changelog for details.
Many fixes

Summary

NetworkManager attempts to keep an active network connection available at all

times. It is intended only for the desktop use-case, and is not intended for

usage on servers. The point of NetworkManager is to make networking

configuration and setup as painless and automatic as possible. If using DHCP,

NetworkManager is _intended_ to replace default routes, obtain IP addresses

from a DHCP server, and change nameservers whenever it sees fit.

Many fixes. Check the changelog for details.
