Fedora Core 3: FEDORA-2006-071 Urgent: Bootparamd Patch

Updated package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-070 2005-05-02 ---------------------------------------------------------------------Product : Fedora Core 3 Name : bootparamd Version : 0.17 Release : 19.FC3 Summary : A server process which provides boot information to diskless clients. Description : The bootparamd process provides bootparamd, a server process which provides the information needed by diskless clients in order for them to successfully boot. Bootparamd looks first in /etc/bootparams for an entry for that particular client; if a local bootparams file doesn't exist, it looks at the appropriate Network Information Service (NIS) map. Some network boot loaders (notably Sun's) rely on special boot server code on the server, in addition to the RARP and TFTP servers. This bootparamd server process is compatible with SunOS bootparam clients and servers which need that boot server code. You should install bootparamd if you need to provide boot information to diskless clients on your network. ---------------------------------------------------------------------* Mon Jan 24 2005 Martin Stransky 0.17-19.FC3 - fix #144933 (bootparamd does not return the right line from /etc/bootparams) - new parameter "-l" can exclude dns lookup during host search ---------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be downloaded from: ba88dba30505a61c5f093e9d5d5dc3b9 SRPMS/bootparamd-0.17-19.FC3.src.rpm 09f72fee86afd51c5afdf170a20818b2 x86_64/bootparamd-0.17-19.FC3.x86_64.rpm c97fa013bd61b70df04d049d7cf731c9 x86_64/debug/bootparamd-debuginfo-0.17-19.FC3.x86_64.rpm 5c2aa4cd9d76cda2badb930cdb39d57e i386/bootparamd-0.17-19.FC3.i386.rpm 6f9bdcd1397c08bd3be382cd0d784578 i386/debug/bootparamd-debuginfo-0.17-19.FC3.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date'command. -----------------------------------------------------------------------fedora-announce-list mailing list This email address is being protected from spambots.
