I was a bit distressed recently to discover that many security related
patches which are relevant to redhat 5.0 and 5.1 are only being posted to
the 5.1 errata list; I'm still running two production 5.0 servers and
hadn't thought to check the 5.1 list for patches. Learned my lesson,
hopefully in time. :)
