Hi List, (Please correct me if this the wrong list for these sort of
issues). I’m concerned that some of the patches / updates
offered by RHN for ES 3 are detrimental from a functionality perspective? The main
three we have issues with are: DHCPD BIND YP DHCPD: 3.0pl2. This version is ancient (2+ years?). 3.0.1
superseded it six months ago. 3.0pl2 contains numerous bugs especially in
regard to high availability “peering” setups. BIND: 9.2.4. This release is rc6. The decision to distribute
a release candidate version of BIND dumbfounds me as well as several users on
the isc.org list. YP: 2.8. Another 2+ year old version of the daemon. This
version SIGSEGV’s when you supply the –p switch. In all the daemon’s above we have had to replace the
binaries via third party RPM or from source. Interestingly, we also use SuSE Enterprise 8 and 9 which ship
the most recent versions of all these daemons. The bottom line is: what am I really paying for here? Old, broken,
obsolete daemons? A vagely souped up version of RedHat 9? Whilst I am “told”
that we are paying for reliability and stability – that’s a crock.
None of these daemons work properly out of the box and have to be replaced. Will
ES4 resolve this? James Bourne | Platform Engineering Animal Logic Building 54 Fox Studios Driver Avenue Australia +61 (0) 2 9383
