3.53. nfs-utils


Updated nfs-utils packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The nfs-utils packages provide a daemon for the kernel Network File System (NFS) server and related tools, which provides better performance than the traditional Linux NFS server used by most users. These packages also contain the mount.nfs, umount.nfs, and showmount programs.

Bug Fixes

BZ#513217
Previously, the summary string in the nfs-utils RPM contained a typo. The text has been fixed, and the string describing the nfs-utils utility is now spelled correctly.
BZ#863241
The rpc.gssd daemon always tried to use a compiler cache (ccache) which had higher mtime but did not verify whether a new ccache is expired or not. Consequently, as rpc.gssd kept on sticking with the ccache until it was deleted, secure NFS context was not created. With this update, rpc.gssd uses a ccache with higher mtime, and if the current is expired, marks it as expired and uses the current valid ccache.
Users of nfs-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs. After installing this update, the nfs service will be restarted automatically.
