All users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
1.217. system-config-network
1.217.1. RHBA-2009:1352: bug fix and enhancement update
An updated system-config-network package that fixes two bugs and adds an enhancement is now
available.
System-config-network is the user interface of the network configuration tool, supporting Ethernet,
Wireless, TokenRing, ADSL, ISDN and PPP.
This updated package adds the following bug fixes and enhancement:
• previously, the textual user interface (TUI) version of system-config-network contained a reference
to the "Primary DSN". This typo has now been corrected to "Primary DNS". (
BZ#496307
1684
)
• previously, system-config-network did not set the MACADDR network parameter. The lack of
this parameter made it impossible to enable layer 2 interfaces on IBM System z without further
manual configuration. The MACADDR parameter has now been added to QETH dialogs and
internal structures or system-config-network, enabling the configuration of layer 2 interfaces.
(
BZ#484289

)
• previously, when system-config-network configured QETH interfaces in textual user interface (TUI)
mode, it attempted to set ports whether the hardware existed or not. When the tool attempted
to configure non-existent hardware, it would crash. Now, system-config-network tests whether
hardware exists before configuring it. This allows users to configure QETH interfaces with the TUI
tool without causing a crash. (
BZ#507766

All users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these issues and adds this
enhancement.
1.218. system-config-samba
1.218.1. RHBA-2009:1329: bug fix update
An updated system-config-samba package that fixes several bugs is now available.
The system-config-samba package provides a graphical user interface for creating, modifying, and
deleting samba shares.
This update applies the following fixes from upstream:
• A bug prevented system-config-samba from honoring the custom 'username map' parameter in /etc/
samba/smb.conf, overwriting it instead with /etc/samba/smbusers as a hard-wired path for Windows-
to-Unix username mappings. As a result, attempts to access the samba service as a Windows user
failed. This release applies an upstream patch that corrects this bug, ensuring that system-config-
samba no longer ignores the 'username map' parameter. (
