Ben,
Just a quick follow up to say the RHEL3 systems I look after are showing
up as needing RHSA-2005:472-05 today. I thought about it some more and
believe that if you had gone to U5 prior to the release of this errata
you had to wait until the RHN errata handler reached your RHN account and
updated your records to flag machines as needing RHSA-2005:472-05. Jay
Turner hinted that that's an area Red Hat are looking to improve. As I
forced my systems to go U5 (or simply to get the U5 redhat-release
package) after the erratas release this trigger the RHN records for those
machines to be updated as needing RHSA-2005:472-05 immediately. Today
my account has obviously been read by the RHN errata handler and now all
of my systems now need RHSA-2005:472-05. I think that might be the
explanation for our different encounters with RHN this time around.
Regards,
Stephen
