   An update that has two recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:


   This collective update for aaa_base provides the following
   fixes and  enhancements:

   * Use of large UID numbers could cause the creation of
   a huge "faillog" file in /var/log. When logging in as root,
   the faillog(8) utility could read this file sequentially,
   introducing long delays. This update removes the call to
   faillog from the default login scripts. Users interested in
   keeping this functionality are advised to use the PAM
   module pam_tally2(8). (bnc#801037)
   * During system shutdown, blogd(8) could close the
   system console before all messages were printed.
   (bnc#789893)
   * Mime types for .docx, .dotx, .pptx, .xlsx and .xltx
   were added to /etc/mime.types. (FATE#313237)
