Feature Updates

background. The window was therefore not obvious to the user. The applet now opens in the
foreground, alerting the user to take action.
• when resuming, NetworkManager could sometimes re-establish a wireless connection, but not a
route. A fix for this problem from upstream has been included in this update.
• NetworkManager did not previously support Cisco Airo Wi-Fi cards, as these devices did not
respond to NetworkManager's attempts to detect them. NetworkManager can now detect and
use these cards.
• the NetworkManager applet would wake up and redraw its icon once per second, even when
NetworkManager was not active. Now, the applet will not wake up unless NetworkManager is
running.
• NetworkManager 0.7 connects faster than libnotify can provide a notification bubble. When
this happens, the bubble will appear at the top left corner of the screen, rather than under the
taskbar. NetworkManager notification bubbles are now delayed for a few seconds, allowing
libnotify to react.
dbus-glib re-base
The dbus-glib integration library has been re-based to version 0.73.8 This update provides
support to updated versions of NetworkManager and also implements the following bugfix and
enhancements
• cleanup of the DBusGProxy objects treated pending remote method calls incorrectly and may
have resulted in freeing invalid memory. Consequently, processes using DBusGProxy objects
may have crashed when the DBusGProxy object was freed. With this update dbus-glib correctly
handles the destruction of DBusGProxy objects, resolving this issue.
• two new function calls,
dbus_g_proxy_call_with_timeout
and
dbus_g_proxy_begin_call_with_timeout
, have been added to dbus-glib providing the
ability to specify a timeout when making a request to a remote service.
• dbus-binding-tool now ignores namespaced Extensible Markup Language (XML) nodes when
processing introspection definition files.
sudo Re-base
sudo
has been re-based to upstream version 1.6.9. This version of sudo now supports LDAP, and
allows sub-tree searching instead of just base searching (i.e. tree-level only) for
sudo
rights. This
allows administrators to categorize
sudo
rights in a tree, making user privileges easier to manage.
Note
the
env_reset
sudoers option from newer sudo will reset the PATH environment
variable. This is different from the behaviour in sudo-1.9.8. To keep the old behaviour
simply add PATH variable into env_keep in
sudoers
file.
LVM-based Cluster mirroring
With this update, the ability to create LVM mirrors in a cluster environment (i.e. while using CLVM)
is now available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux It provides for simultaneous access from multiple
cluster machines, like when using a cluster-aware file system. This solution is compatible with
existing single-machine mirrors. When switching a mirrored logical volume between single-
machine and cluster-aware, no resynchronization is necessary.
