I went ahead with the yum update, now 'rpm -q centos-release' shows:

centos-release-3.3-1 centos-release-3-4.2

I had walked away from a vnc session as it was yum updating and came back to a closed vnc sessions. So I thought maybe it did not finish. However a server reboot and a subsequent 'yum clean' and 'yum update' did not yield any new additions.

So it looks like it got everything but not sure if it should show both versions in 'rpm -q centos-release'?

thx again

wrong or the process changed somewhere. I do not remember seeing an announcement other than the one back in January but later someone mentioned the automatic update to 3.4 would not happen).

If my memory serves me, there was a problem with bind breaking during an upgrade from 3.3 to 3.4, so until the problem was fixed (within the last week or two), both the 3.3 and 3.4 trees were maintained separately. Now that the problem has been resolved, the maintainers have combined it all back into a single tree.
