Chapter 1. Package Updates
* The audit package has been rebased and, as a result, a number of new features have been added.
These include:
1. Allowing ausearch/report to specify multiple node names (which are needed for remote logging).
2. auparse can now handle empty AUSOURCE_FILE_ARRAYs. 3. auditctl rules now allow a0-a3 to
be negative numbers. 4. An audit.rules man page has been added. 5. auditd resets syslog warnings
if disk space becomes available. 6. The != operator in audit_rule_fieldpair_data is now checked. 7. A
tcp_max_per_addr option has been added to auditd.conf in order to limit concurrent connections. 8.
Many improvements to remote logging code.
As a result, these enhancements are now available for system administrators, making auditing options
much more flexible.

1.8. autofs
1.8.1. RHBA-2009:1468: bug fix update
Note
This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as errata
RHBA-2009:1468
An updated autofs package that fixes two bugs is now available.
The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon. The automount daemon
automatically mounts file systems when you use them, and unmounts them when they are not busy.
This updated package fixes the following two autofs bugs:
* autofs was incorrectly using a non-thread-safe libxml2 function as though it was thread-safe.
This sometimes resulted in autofs crashing. With this update the calls to xmlCleanupParser() and
xmlInitParser() have been moved: these functions are now only called as autofs starts and exits,
ensuring these libxml2 functions are not called more than once while autofs is running.
* a recent correction related to autofs master map entry updating introduced a regression whereby
it was possible to deadlock when requesting a map re-load when an entry in a direct map had been
removed. This update adds a check that ensures such map re-load requests do not cause a deadlock.

All autofs users should install this updated package which addresses these issues.
