Description

On some systems I found the following warning in /var/log/messages:

Nov 26 04:15:49 server esmith::event[26301]: grep: /etc/hosts.allow: No such file or directory
Nov 26 04:15:49 server esmith::event[26301]: grep: /etc/hosts.deny: No such file or directory

Both hosts. files are missing:
# rpm -V setup
missing   c /etc/hosts.allow
missing   c /etc/hosts.deny

Trying to reproduce the bug, I found systems where the files are not missing.

Maybe a stderr redirect to /dev/null is ok to fix the warning.

I almost sure they were a template, that has been removed when 6.6 was released. On a 6.7 the files are present and are unmodified.

What is the action that generates that error? Could you grep some lines before/after the warning messages?


Edit: It was 6.5: see issue #2785

The bug is cosmetic, affecting system updated from 6.5.
