Hi,

today I updated the glibc packages on some CentOS machines. After the 
Update I checked which
services/processes I have to restart  "yum -C ps" or "needs-restarting"

At the most machines I get no information about necessary restarts, but 
at two machines a long listing :

1 : /sbin/init
386 : /sbin/udevd-d
659 : /sbin/udevd-d
999 : /usr/sbin/vmtoolsd
1103 : auditd
1128 : /sbin/rsyslogd-i/var/run/syslogd.pid-c5
1170 : rpcbind
1188 : rpc.statd
1229 : dbus-daemon--system
1270 : /usr/sbin/acpid
1279 : hald
1280 : hald-runner
1325 : hald-addon-input: Listening on /dev/input/event2 /dev/input/event0
1329 : hald-addon-acpi: listening on acpid socket /var/run/acpid.socket
1350 : automount--pid-file/var/run/autofs.pid
1366 : /usr/sbin/mcelog--daemon
1386 : xinetd-stayalive-pidfile/var/run/xinetd.pid
1486 : /usr/sbin/abrtd
1494 : crond
1505 : /usr/sbin/atd
.......

Can someone tell me why I get different output for the same action ?
