Chapter 1. Package Updates
228
These updated setroubleshoot packages fix the following bug:
• shutting down the system caused setroubleshoot to report that the connection had failed. This
was caused by an inoptimal ordering in the system shutdown scripts wherein the D-Bus system
message bus was shut down before setroubleshoot, which resulted in connection failure messages.
The relative order in which setroubleshoot and D-Bus are shut down has been switched, and
setroubleshoot no longer reports failure at shutdown time. (

All users of setroubleshoot are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this
issue.

1.206.1. RHBA-2009:0484: bug fix and enhancement update

An updated setup package that fixes several bugs and adds various enhancements is now available.
The setup package contains a set of important system configuration and setup files, such as passwd,
group, and profile.
This updated setup package fixes the following two inconsistencies between the bash and the csh and
tcsh profile scripts:
• in order to match the bash shell's default behavior and provide consistency across shells, csh files in
the /etc/profile.d/ directory are not read when csh is loaded as a non-login shell.
• when using the csh or tcsh shell, the user's umask is now set exactly the same as it is for the bash
shell. If a process owned by a user creates a file, the UID number of the user is 100 or greater,
and the username and group name match, then the umask of the process will be set to "002".
Otherwise, the umask will be set to "022".
In addition, this updated package provides the following enhancements:
• this updated setup package reserves the new "tss" User ID and Group ID, and the userid (UID) and
groupid (GID) numbers (59:59), which should prevent accidental usage of that UID/GID pair by other
packages and administrators. TrouSerS is an implementation of the Trusted Computing Group's
Software Stack (TSS) specification.
• this updated setup package reserves the new "puppet" user ID and group ID, and the userid (UID)
and groupid (GID) numbers (52:52), which should prevent accidental usage of that UID/GID pair
by other packages and administrators. Puppet is an automated system administration engine that
performs tasks such as adding users, installing packages, and updating server configurations based
on a centralized specification language.
• this updated setup package reserves the new "pkiuser" user ID and group ID, and the userid (UID)
and groupid (GID) numbers (17:17), which should prevent accidental usage of that UID/GID pair
