B.99.1. RHBA-2010:0848 — upstart bug fix update

An updated upstart package that fixes a bug in utmp table updating is now available.

Upstart is an event-based replacement for the /sbin/init daemon, which handles starting of tasks and services during boot, stopping them during shut down, and supervising them while the system is running.

Bug Fix

BZ#636487: When a mingetty session is terminated, the relevant entry in the utmp table is now correctly set to "DEAD_PROCESS".

All users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue. Note that after installing this update, a system reboot is required for the above changes to take effect.
