lcg-CE - Update to version 3.0.19-1

Date 28.11.07
Priority High

Description

MySQL server/client update

This update fixes several security issues for MySQL. It contains the upgrade to the latest available version of MySQL 4.1 series (4.1.22). Please refer to the MySQL release notes on www.mysql.org for detailed information about the changes.

Updated Torque and Maui

It is expected that this torque (2.1.9-4) will work with the previous EGEE released version (2.1.6-1cri_sl3_2st) if it is convenient to be deployed or installed in a mixed version mode of pbs_server, pbs_mom or client commands.

The new version of Maui (3.2.6p19-4) is built with a shared key across all the architectures. This was not previously the case and all builds had their own random key. Subsequently a 32bit build of maui-client will now talk to a 64bit build of maui-server.

After install, please verify that pbs_server, pbs_mom and maui have been restarted everywhere. For the pbs_mom restarts the momctl utility in the torque-server rpm can be utilized.

Workaround required: /var/spool/maui/maui.cfg permissions should be 0644.

Along with patch #1384 (already in production), this release completes the fix for the following advisory;
