FYI, Seems there might be some confusion on the part of Red Hat.
Checking the 4.0 channel on the Red Hat Network for the version of
Postgresql that comes on 4.0 I see:

postgresql-7.4.7-2.RHEL4.1

Whereas, on the iso I downloaded I find:

postgresql-7.4.6-1.RHEL4.2

Not what's going on there, I'd appreciate hearing anyone who might have
some insights...

Its called up2date. postgresql-7.4.7-2.RHEL4.1 was released by RH
yesterday morning to address the LOAD exploit. Obviously the RHW-4
ISOs were created before that happened, hence the older version.

I thought that might be a possibility, but I (incorrectly) expected the
listing to show what was on the disk.

Thanks.

Its called up2date.

or even more specifically, day-zero security errata. The CD masters for
RHEL4 were frozen several weeks ago, so there's been plenty of time for
security errata to fill the RHN pipeline. I believe there were a couple
dozen packages besides postgresql with such errata.
