rPath Platform Agent 3.2.5 Released

rAPA 3.2.5 is a maintenance release.

Bug Fixes:
  • Notifications now show the correct product version, rather than the rPA version. (RAA-1784)
  • Restarting the network no longer raises exceptions when DHCP devices are disconnected. Warning messages are logged instead.
  • SSL connections now time out properly. (RAA-1783)
  • On SLES, the network configuration plugin now correctly saves the DHCLIENT_MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF option.
New Features:
  • A new boolean option called legacyPostScript has been introduced in the Network Configuration plugin. It currently defaults to True, meaning that the network post script will run immediately after a hostname change, but before changes to individual interfaces. Setting this to False will delay the postscript until all changes have been applied. This will become the default behavior in a future release. (RAA-1792)
  • A new boolean option called loopbackHostname has been introduced in the Network Configuration plugin. It currently defaults to True, meaning that the system hostname will be made to resolve to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts. Setting this to False will prevent this. This may become the default behavior in a future release. (RAA-1793)
  • It is now possible to disable a network interface (RAA-1716)
