Trustix Secure Linux Bugfix Advisory #2003-0001

Package name:      initscripts, pam, SysVinit
Summary:           Minor bugfix
Date:              2003-02-20
Affected versions: TSL 1.5

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
  The initscripts package contains the basic system scripts used to boot
  your Trustix system, change run levels, and shut the system down
  cleanly.  Initscripts also contains the scripts that activate and
  deactivate most network interfaces.

  PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is a system security tool
  which allows system administrators to set authentication policy
  without having to recompile programs which do authentication.

  The SysVinit package contains a group of processes that control
  the very basic functions of your system. SysVinit includes the init
  program, the first program started by the Linux kernel when the
  system boots.  Init then controls the startup, running and shutdown
  of all other programs.
  

Problem description:
  A dependency loop exists between several package including initscripts, 
  pam and SysVinit, that causes the installer to complaint. This update 
  removes the loop, as it was not needed.
