When trying to upgrade rsync to fix the rsyslog security (CESA-2012-0796), which brings rsync up to 5.8.10-2.el6.x86_64, the system will not reboot after the update. I have reproduced this several times, always with the same result. After doing a reboot command, the system gives the message that the system is being rebooted, but it never completes. Using XenCenter to force a reboot allows the system to start to boot, but the boot never completes. The system comes up far enough that it is responding to its IP address, but an SSH attempt to login only gets to the prompt for the password, & the login never completes.<br />
Modules updated for the bugfix include: rsyslog, rsyslog-debuginfo, rsyslog-gnutls, rsyslog-gssapi, rsyslog-mysql, rsyslog-pgsql, rsyslog-relp, and rsyslog-snmp.
