1.245.1. RHBA-2011:0749: bug-fix update

Updated ricci packages that fix various bugs are now available.
The ricci packages contain a daemon and a client which allow a cluster to be configured and managed remotely.
This update addresses the following bugs:
  • Ricci no longer sends non-SSL data when it has reached its maximum number of connections. (BZ#652837)
  • Ricci no longer depends on the the root user password to permit access; authentication is now done using the ricci user password. (BZ#644047)
  • Ricci can now be configured remotely using ccs. (BZ#614647)
  • Nodes can now be started and stopped using ccs. (BZ#623734)
  • A man page has been added for ricci. (BZ#602399)
  • It is now possible to pipe passwords into ccs_sync. (BZ#682317)
  • ccs now fails (with an error) if a non-validating cluster.conf file is used. (BZ#682868)
  • When an incorrect password is entered for a node in ccs_sync, it no longer continues to ask for the password in an endless loop. (BZ#682323)
All users of ricci are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which address these issues.
