[cobalt-users] ntpd daemon root exploit

["Amanda John" <kourni@xxxxxxxxx>]

Red Hat have released RPMs for the ntpd root exploit can I install these
safely on our RAQ3?  As usual cobalt have yet to release a security fix for
this problem several days after it was first announced.

If I can, which of these could I safely use on a RAQ3?  The RPMs available
are:
