Red Hat has recently issued more updates to 4.2 to plug various
security holes, including one in libc (the C library, which pretty
much everything uses). If you're running Red Hat-Athena 4.2, we
recommend that you install these updates by attaching the linux locker
and running /mit/linux/redhat/redhat-4.2/i386/updates/update.pl as
root. I have had reports that the update script may clobber certain
configuration files when updating the packages that own them, so if
you've modified any system files, you may want to save the modified
copies somewhere just in case.
