Red Hat Linux 7.1 RHSA-2001:148-09 Moderate: Bad Permissions In Installer

If you have not installed: --------------------------Download the update disk image and create an update disk. This can be done by using the same procedure used to create a boot diskette.

For more information, refer to

Red Hat Customer Portal - Access to 24x7 support and knowledge

Please note that you must substitute the update disk image filename for the filename used in the example.

When booting into the installation program, type "linux updates" at the boot prompt, followed by any other installation options (such as "expert" or "text" or "ks"). The installation process will prompt you to insert the update disk when it is required, and the installation will then proceed as normal.

If you have already installed: ------------------------------Check the permissions on the affected files and change them as appropriate. Or install the upgraded Red Hat-release; this will change the the permissions during its postinstall phase.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs.
