Trustix Secure Linux Bugfix Advisory #2004-0014

Package name:      fcron, crontabs, stunnel, kernel, ntp
Summary:           Bugfixes in multiple packages
Date:              2004-03-30
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.1

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
  crontabs:
  The crontabs package contains root crontab files.  Crontab is the
  program used to install, uninstall or list the tables used to drive the
  cron daemon.  The cron daemon checks the crontab files to see when
  particular commands are scheduled to be executed.  If commands are
  scheduled, it executes them.

  fcron:
  Fcron is a scheduler. It aims at replacing Vixie Cron, so it implements most
  of its functionalities.

  kernel:
  The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your
  Trustix Secure Linux operating system.  The kernel handles the basic functions
  of the operating system:  memory allocation, process allocation, device
  input and output, etc.

  ntp:
  The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize a computer's
  time with another reference time source. The ntp package contains
  utilities and daemons that will synchronize your computer's time to
  Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) via the NTP protocol and NTP servers.
  The ntp package includes ntpdate (a program for retrieving the date
  and time from remote machines via a network) and ntpd (a daemon which
  continuously adjusts system time).

  stunnel:
  stunnel is a socket wrapper which can be used to give ordinary
  applications SSL (secure sockets layer) support. For example, it
  can be used in conjunction with a imapd to create a SSL secure IMAP
  server.


Problem description:
  crontabs:
  The /etc/fcrontab was a duplicate interface to roots crontab and could
  mislead people into thinking they were editing a system crontab as opposed
  to the one belonging to the root user.

  fcron:
  This is related to the crontabs bugfix and is just a rearrangement of how
  it was added.

  kernel:
  Added the hpt366 and hpt34x modules to the BOOT kernel.  This will
  allow people to install on such controllers directly.

  ntp:
  Due to an error in the startup script, ntp would not syncronize initially
  against the time servers.

  stunnel:
  There was an error in the startup script that would exit with the wrong
  message if it could not find the binary.


Action:
  We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
  Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this
  package, you may want to remove it from your system.
