No, /sbin/update isn't supposed to exist on a Redhat 9 machine; you
should have an /etc/inittab.rpmnew that fails to contain that line, and
machines installed directly at 9.2 shouldn't have it, either. The
initscripts RPM declares /etc/inittab as %config(noreplace) so won't
drop any new files in place over it. The error should be purely
cosmetic, although we can put something in the athena-ws rpm to remove
that line.
