Installation guide

All Architectures

• smartmontools has been re-based to version 5.38. This update improves autodetection of

hardware devices, improves support for CCISS RAID arrays, and features a larger database of

supported devices.

This update also fixes a bug wherein SELinux prevented smartmontools from monitoring 3ware

RAID devices. smartmontools can now monitor such devices properly.

• python-urlgrabber has been re-based to version 3.1.0-5. This applies several bug fixes from

upstream, including:

• yum can now correctly re-download from a yum repository that does not support partial

downloads.

• yum can now resume an interrupted download even if the yum repository is FTP-based with a

specified port.

• The size of progress bars are now dynamic to the terminal width. In addition, progress bars are

now cleaner, and display a percentage of the total downloaded data.

• The keepalive signal of python-urlgrabber is now fixed. Previously, a bug in this signal

incorrectly increased memory usage during downloads; in addition, this bug also prevented

reposync and yumdownloader from performing properly when downloading a large number of

packages.

• yum-utils is now re-based to upstream version 1.1.16. This applies several bug fixes, including:

• yum update --security can now properly locate old relevant security updates.

• yum-versionlock now works properly against package obsoletes.

This update also includes the yum-fastestmirror plugin, which enables yum to choose the

fastest repository in a mirrorlist.

• Samba has been re-based to upstream version 3.2.0. This fixes several bugs, including one that

prevented users from joining domains that used Windows 2003 as their name server. This update

also fixes a bug that caused samba domain membership to break after changing the system

password using net rpc changetrustpw.

• OpenLDAP has been re-based to upstream version 2.3.43. This applies several upstream bug

fixes, including:

• The init script now reports a warning if the slapd daemon cannot read a TLS certificate file.

• All libraries in openldap-debuginfo package are now unstripped.

• Uninstalling the openldap-devel package no longer breaks OpenLDAP libraries.

Red Hat now distributes additional overlays for OpenLDAP server. Except for syncprov, all

overlays can be found in separate openldap-servers-overlays packages, compiled as

dynamically loadable modules. The syncprov overlay is statically linked to the OpenLDAP server

to maintain compatibility with older OpenLDAP releases.
