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 1 Cole Robinson 2011-03-24 15:57:21 UTC
The man page is a little unclear, what it is saying is that --serial unix,mode= works exactly the same as --serial tcp,mode=

I've clarified this upstream:

Comment 8 Cole Robinson 2011-08-03 14:22:03 UTC
Thanks for confirming, should we put this bug into VERIFIED then? I think the other doc bugs need the same.

Comment 9 Nan Zhang 2011-08-04 02:07:59 UTC
Move this to VERIFIED, according to comment 7.

Comment 10 Huming Jiang 2011-08-04 02:36:25 UTC
Move the needinfo plag, according to comment 9. And set status of the other doc bugs from modified to verified.

Comment 11 Cole Robinson 2011-11-07 16:51:01 UTC
    Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
    accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
