Sorry, bit OT as this is a server admin question.

Working with some people overseas who use RHEL, and they are reporting that
they can't make RHEL5.3 have MySQL with InnoDB and PHP 5.2 without building
one or the other from source.

This seems very unlikely to me, but I'm not intimate with RedHat these days.
Is there a RHEL admin on list who can confirm or deny these allegations
against such a fine product?

Astounded to find that I can't even use "yum search" to verify this because
the RHN repos are not visible without uid=0.

I understand MySQL has moved InnoDB to a plugin, so maybe they are just
missing mysql-plugins-innodb-x.x.x.rpm, but RHN's network seems to be secure
against non-paying customers.

Would try testing with CentOS, but they haven't released their 5.3 yet
AFAICT.

Clues welcome!
