There are two updated packages available via FTP from ftp.redhat.com.
o mingetty-0.9.4-2
mingetty did not allow some characters in user names. So, for
instance, if typed in a valid user name which included a '-'
character, mingetty aborted the login attempt, keeping users
with '-' characters in their login names from logging in at the
console.
To fix this, upgrade to one of:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/updates/i386/mingetty-0.9.4-2.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/updates/axp/mingetty-0.9.4-2.axp.rpm
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/updates/sparc/mingetty-0.9.4-2.sparc.rpm
o NetKit-B-0.08-8
rlogind in some cases put the wrong machine name in utmp,
causing utilities like `w' to incorrectly report what remote
machine users were logged in from.
To fix this, upgrade to one of:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/updates/i386/NetKit-B-0.08-8.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/updates/axp/NetKit-B-0.08-8.axp.rpm
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/updates/sparc/NetKit-B-0.08-8.sparc.rpm
