An updated portreserve package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The portreserve package helps services with well-known ports that lie in the portmap range. It prevents portmap from occupying a real service's port by occupying it itself, until the real service tells it to release the port, generally in the init script.
- BZ#734765
Prior to this update, the portreserve daemon exited after the first port was released. As a result, all ports that services registered for portreserve were released when one of these services asked for its port to be released. With this update portreserve releases now only the requested ports.
All portreserve users are advised to upgrade to this update, which fixes this bug.
