Under the assumption that SL5.0 would have all the SL5 updates, I 
looked in the SL5.0 security updates directory

ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/50/X/updates/security/

where X is i586 and x86_64.  The version which came before the *_29 RPMs 
seems to be *_26, which is also in the SL5.6 updates.
