Fedora Linux 8512 Published by

An at update is available for Fedora Core 3

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2005-209
2005-03-12
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product : Fedora Core 3
Name : at
Version : 3.1.8
Release : 68_FC3
Summary : Job spooling tools.
Description :
At and batch read commands from standard input or from a specified file. At allows you to specify that a command will be run at a particular time. Batch will execute commands when the system load levels drop to a particular level. Both commands use /bin/sh.

You should install the at package if you need a utility for time-oriented job control. Note: If it is a recurring job that will need to be repeated at the same time every day/week, etc. you should use crontab instead.



---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

o Added check in at(1) to verify if atd PAM authentication will succeed;
Job submission will be denied if atd PAM authentication fails.
o Fixed PAM authentication in atd (bug 150131).

NOTE: the previous advisory for atd-3.1.8-68_FC3 had the wrong
advisory ID (FEDORA-2005-208) which was for bind-9.2.5-1_FC3 .
Hence this advisory is being re-sent with the correct advisory
id:
FEDORA-2005-209
