Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 71756
no email notifications from RHN
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:38:03 EDT
11 machines registered and entitled, all 11 have (and have had) their flag toggled on for notifications of errata, all 11 are vulnerable to RHSA-2002:172 (date listed as 2002-08-14 according to http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-172.html) - all 11 are still vulnerable (no updates applied for this errata) yet no email from RHN. This has been true for awhile (no emails for applicable errata) but I wanted to get a fresh bug report here to cover it distinctly.
still no email about this bug, despite getting an email from RHN 3 days ago about RHSA-2002:158-09. In case it helps bear out a pattern, here's the last 10 RHN emails I've actually gotten successfully jmm@xanex:/home/jmm> grep -B1 "RHN Errata" procmail.log |tail -30 -- From <rhn-bounce+1023544-1584221@rhn.redhat.com>(________-000000001271) Thu Jun 06 08:19:49 2002 Subject: RHN Errata Alert: Ghostscript command execution vulnerability -- From <rhn-bounce+1023544-1584221@rhn.redhat.com>(________-000000001425) Fri Jun 07 14:15:19 2002 Subject: RHN Errata Alert: Updated ethereal packages are available -- From <rhn-bounce+1023544-1584221@rhn.redhat.com>(________-000000001807) Tue Jun 11 06:14:32 2002 Subject: RHN Errata Alert: Relaxed LPRng job submission policy -- From <rhn-bounce+1023544-1584221@rhn.redhat.com>(________-000000003146) Thu Jun 20 04:58:08 2002 Subject: RHN Errata Alert: Updated Apache packages fix chunked encoding issue -- From <rhn-bounce+1023544-1584221@rhn.redhat.com>(________-000000003314) Thu Jun 20 21:21:33 2002 Subject: RHN Errata Alert: Updated kernel with bugfixes available -- From <rhn-bounce+1023544-1584221@rhn.redhat.com>(________-000000003946) Wed Jun 26 03:50:43 2002 Subject: RHN Errata Alert: Updated GNU C library packages available -- From <rhn-bounce+1023544-1584221@rhn.redhat.com>(________-000000005469) Mon Jul 08 18:52:36 2002 Subject: RHN Errata Alert: Updated psmisc packages are available -- From <rhn-bounce+1023544-1584221@rhn.redhat.com>(________-000000008388) Sat Jul 27 04:03:11 2002 Subject: RHN Errata Alert: Updated version of GCC 2.96-RH now available -- From <rhn-bounce+1023544-1584221@rhn.redhat.com>(________-000000009267) Thu Aug 01 01:07:18 2002 Subject: RHN Errata Alert: Updated mm packages fix temporary file handling -- From <rhn-bounce+1023544-1584221@rhn.redhat.com>(________-000000011750) Thu Aug 22 09:18:57 2002 Subject: RHN Errata Alert: New kernel update available, fixes i810 video oops, Notice that 2002:172 (krb5 update) isn't included and all my machines were (and still are) vulnerable to it. Perhaps that just means that the queue of people to be emailed about that errata is much longer, so I'll eventually get an email, just that I'll have to wait a few more days. Any idea if that's the case?
Our errata mailer was having problems that have been fixed.
