-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-0408 2013-01-08 20:07:10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : bootparamd Product : Fedora 18 Version : 0.17 Release : 37.fc18 URL : None Summary : A server process which provides boot information to diskless clients Description : The bootparamd process provides bootparamd, a server process which provides the information needed by diskless clients in order for them to successfully boot. Bootparamd looks first in /etc/bootparams for an entry for that particular client; if a local bootparams file doesn't exist, it looks at the appropriate Network Information Service (NIS) map. Some network boot loaders (notably Sun's) rely on special boot server code on the server, in addition to the RARP and TFTP servers. This bootparamd server process is compatible with SunOS bootparam clients and servers which need that boot server code. You should install bootparamd if you need to provide boot information to diskless clients on your network. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Use int instead of char for return of getopt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Jan 8 2013 Lukáš Nykrýn <[email protected]> - 0.17-37 - Use int instead of char for return of getopt (#891105) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #891105 - getopt fails on unsigned char platforms (ppc) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=891105 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
