1.277. sysvinit-tools

An updated sysvinit-tools package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The sysvinit-tools package contains various tools used for process management.

This update fixes the following bugs:

Previously, the wall(1) command incorrectly allowed to send 22 lines per message at once. This update sets the wall(1) command to reflect accurately the maximum of 20 lines per message. (BZ#619658)
Previously, parts of the banner message got cut off when the host name was longer than expected and the banner limit of 80 characters was exceeded. This update allows also for longer host names. Now, the banner no longer gets cut off. (BZ#668476)

All users of sysvinit-tools are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs.
