I was a bit hasty there and didn't note the glibc needed to be updated first. On another note, on a few of my systems, yum didn't pick up the new packages unless I did a "yum clean all" first. "Yum upgrade" or "yum update"? What's the take on that one here on the list? Both seem to work. Superficially I don't see anything fishy doing either. Is it one of those zen-things the linux-community seems to be so much into? ;-) -- /Sorin
