7. Problem description:

The userinfo program included in usermode-1.15 and several earlier
versions do not correctly update user information.  The userinfo
program in usermode-1.9 (included in Red Hat Linux 6.0) could, in some
circumstances, attempt to use all available memory, and could fail to
update.   The userhelper program in usermode-1.9 did not work in some
hesiod environments.

8. Solution:

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:
 
rpm -Uvh <filename>
 
where filename is the name of the RPM.

9. Verification:

MD5 sum                           Package Name

tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:
 
rpm --checksig --nopgp <filename>
