That, and because my Googling of the CVEs +RHEL5 led me to those links. There is only so much R'ing of TFM I have time to do :-) I am glad that those issues are indicated as being OK for RHEL5. There were several other issues that I looked up, and each had links to the RH errata that I could use to support my case that the findings were not, in fact, findings. So, my due diligence found solid answers in several cases,a nd inconclusive answers in four others. -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
