Unless I'm mistaken, does it look like Centos 4.7 is missing an update released on December 3rd 2008? Upstream details :- http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0989.html An updated tmpwatch package that fixes various bugs is now available. The tmpwatch utility recursively searches through specified directories and removes files which have not been accessed in a specified period of time. tmpwatch is typically enabled and configured to clean up directories used for temporarily holding files, such as, for example, the /tmp directory. This updated tmpwatch package includes fixes for the following bugs: * tmpwatch unnecessarily reported a "No such file or directory" error whenever a file was deleted before tmpwatch accessed it. In this updated package, tmpwatch correctly no longer reports such errors, thus resolving the issue. <snip> Regards, Vandaman.

I'll chase those up and if he is busy over the next couple of days, will push them out ( looking now, and I can see they are all built, so its possible Johnny is working through an issue that he found in one of the packages ) -- Karanbir Singh CentOS Project { http://www.centos.org/ } irc: z00dax, #centos at irc.freenode.net

I will build it soon, but it we don't build fasttrack for every CentOS version (ie, not for C5 for example). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

As a *temporary* fix, I hardcoded the links on the wiki by changing the "4" with "4.6". Akemi
