Chapter 6. Installation and Booting

A change introduced in the previous release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 introduced a bug which in some cases caused initscripts to fail to correctly start Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) network interfaces. This update provides a fix to initscripts that ensures GRE interfaces start as expected. (BZ#1436061)

The Korn Shell (*KSH*) is unable to process code where the word local appears on the same line as an array definition. This previously caused KSH to fail to source the /etc/init.d/functions file. This update provides a workaround to the KSH limitation, and the function file is now being sourced as expected.​

Note that KSH may still be unable use some of the functions in /etc/init.d/functions file. This update only allows KSH to not fail during the sourcing of /etc/init.d/functions. (BZ#1518429)
