RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 2 Bob Relyea 2015-01-12 22:03:26 UTC 
reasonable thing to fix in 7.2
Comment 4 Bob Relyea 2015-07-06 22:23:07 UTC 
remove dangling reference to non-existant pam_pkcs11.conf(5) and fix up pointer to Admin doc which contains the required information for the user.
Comment 5 Bob Relyea 2015-07-06 22:42:06 UTC 
fixed in pam_pkcs11-0.6.2-19.el7

Comment 8 Bob Relyea 2015-09-01 00:52:44 UTC 
Good catch Roshni. I had changed the target file but not the source that it's built from. The build rebuilt the old incorrect version. This build now changes both.
