I'm assuming that the security patches are back ported and I'm going to
risk it (despite Quanah's admonitions).
Yeah but I'm not dealing with FC-3 - this is RHEL 3 and...
# rpm -qa|grep db4
db4-devel-4.1.25-8
db4-4.1.25-8
db4-utils-4.1.25-8
I don't think so (older, not patched)
]# rpm -qa|grep cyrus
cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.15-10
cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.15-10
cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.15-10
cyrus-sasl-2.1.15-10
cyrus-sasl-gssapi-2.1.15-10
Little older, don't know...was easy enough to compile
