OK, how about the following "fix"? Or is it not a fix? I install the older version of krb5-workstation.... this of course gives me the .so.3. Now I upgrade to the newer version using rpm -Uvh ....will this not keep the old .so.3 and also allow me the newer krb5 stuff which I assume would have the more recent security stuff? Does this make any sense?
