Only available on CentOS4's yum.  I can see it now.

        Specifying package names
All  the  list  options  mentioned  above take file-glob-syntax
wildcards or package names as arguments, for example  yum  list
available  foo*  will  list  all  available packages that match
foo*.

'yum list available glibc' works fine on centOS 4, but on centos 3 it 
lists seems to be displaying all available packages.

Thanks,
