1. Topic:
Updated usermode packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 6.0, 6.1, and
6.2.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 6.0 - i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Linux 6.1 - i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Linux 6.2 - i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Linux 6.2E - i386, alpha, sparc
3. Problem description:
The usermode package allows unprivileged users logged in at the system
console to run the halt, poweroff, reboot, and shutdown commands without
needing to know the superuser's password. While being able to halt,
poweroff, and reboot is a desirable thing, an unprivileged user can also
bring the system to single-user mode by running "shutdown now" with no
additional flags. This update removes the "shutdown" command from the list
of commands unprivileged users can run.
4. Solution:
For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filename]
where filename is the name of the RPM.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):
13768 - Auth dialogs show "Picture of a key" text instead of graphic
13616 - Missing icon.
12433 - /usr/sbin/userhelper not stripped
11006 - kppp either doesn't display locally or remotely
9746 - Local user can go into single mode only with shutdown now...
6. RPMs required:

sparc:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/sparc/usermode-1.28-2.sparc.rpm
alpha:

These packages are GPG signed by Red Hat, Inc. for security. Our key

You can verify each package with the following command:
rpm --checksig <filename>
If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or
tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:
rpm --checksig --nogpg <filename>
