Soon to be released to a mirror near you! Those packages will eventually appear in CentOS mirrors (except they are for CentOS-4, not -5). :-D The bug fixes (marked RHBA) may not get a high priority as security fixes (marked RHSA) do. So, they may lag a bit when the developers are tied up with more urgent tasks. You can see what you current have on your system by: rpm -qa glibc\* nptl\* nscd That will give you a hint as to which packages you want to update. Akemi
