Weekly Changes – 05/09/2022
A quiet week with just a few security updates for most sites. Here are the full details…
su on DICE
The PAM configuration for the su
command on Ubuntu DICE has been fixed so that it can be used by the root user to become another user.
PXE Service
The new support for PXE booting using grub has now been completed and tested. The latest version of the LCFG pxeserver component creates a top-level grub configuration file which will load the specific config for the MAC address of the client (named in a similar way to those used by pxelinux). There is also now support for loading the kernel and initrd files via HTTP when using grub.
Packages
There are two new package options for Ubuntu:
LCFG_OPTIONS_SQLITE
– SQLite database packagesLCFG_OPTIONS_DBUS_X11
– dbus-x11 packages
