Fixed In Version: certmonger-0.30-2 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, after installing the certmonger utility, the certmonger service failed to start. This occurred because the package installation did not signal the system bus daemon that it needed to re-read its configuration as to allow the certmonger daemon to connect to the bus. This update fixes the bug and the certmonger service can be started right after the installation.
