Hi, On about 8am GMT Jan 18, my server reported an unusually large number of yum updates available. I think this is due to the release of CentOS 5.9: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.centos.announce/7203 However, I just wanted to be a little paranoid, since this is unusual for my normal yum update reports (over 100 updates compared to a couple a week).? Can someone confirm my suspicion, or is it possible I have a security issue on my hands? Thank you!!!!
