1.6.1. RHBA-2011:0016: bug fix update

An updated at package that fixes bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
At and batch read commands from standard input or from a specified file. At allows you to specify that a command will be run at a particular time. Batch will execute commands when the system load levels drop to a particular level. Both commands use /bin/sh.
This update fixes the following bugs:
  • Previously, the at daemon (atd) wrongly contained permissions 0755 for atd configuration. With this update, atd has the correct permissions 0644 as have all other such files. (BZ#589099)
  • Previously, the initscript caused the "OK" message to be printed twice. With this update, the initscript behaves as expected and no longer echoes duplicate messages. (BZ#615104)
  • Previously, the PIE label was not compiled with -fpie/-fPIE. This update adds a PIE compile option to specify secure Position-Independent Executables. (BZ#630019)
All users of at are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
