the owner of a file saved by Excel could have ended up losing access to that file. These updated
packages include an adjusted fix for this problem which fixes the ACL inheritance so that saving an
Excel file does not cause the owner to change. (

not read resulted, incorrectly, in an "access denied" error. With these updated packages, smbclient
correctly allows this operation. (

1.202.1. RHBA-2009:1267: bug fix update
Updated sblim packages that fix a bug are now available.
SBLIM stands for Standards-Based Linux Instrumentation for Manageability. It consists of a set of
standards-based, Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) modules that use the Common
Information Model (CIM) standard to gather and provide systems management information, events,
and methods to local or networked consumers via an CIM object services broker using the CMPI
(Common Manageability Programming Interface) standard. This package provides a set of core
providers and development tools for systems management applications.
These updated sblim packages provide fixes for the following bugs and add the following
enhancement:
• when the sblim-cmpi-dhcp package is installed, it modifies the files under /var/lib/Pegasus owned
by the tog-pegasus package. Previously, when sblim was installed in the course of an "everything"
installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on the PowerPC architecture, the modifications that
sblim made in the /var/lib/Pegasus directory prevented the post-install scriptlet from completing
the provider-register commands. In turn, this would prevent installation of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5 from completing. The provider-register commands are no longer provided in the post-
install scriptlet, therefore avoiding this situation and allowing installation of the operating system to
complete normally. Users of SBLIM who need to register provider modules for tog-pegasus should
register these modules manually -- refer to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 Technical Notes for
instructions. (

• the provider in the sblim-cmpi-network subpackage executes /sbin/ifconfig to generate localized
output. In the section of the code that generates wbemcli output for IPv4 addresses, the language
for ifconfig was not identified, with the result that no output was generated at all when the LANG=
environment was set to anything other than en_US. IPv4Address, IPv6Address, and SubnetMask
were then all reported as "NULL". The language passed to ifconfig is now specified as en_US, so
that meaningful output is returned, regardless of the language of the environment. (

Compiler Collection (GCC). Attempts to build the sblim package from source using more recent
