These days I also always use the epel repo for my SL servers, which is
available as a yum install from SL5 series servers:
# rpm -q yum-conf-epel
yum-conf-epel-5-1.noarch
For the SL4 ones, I just grab the epel RPM from fedora:
# rpm -qf /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
epel-release-4-6
Maybe Connie or Troy could make a yum-conf-epel for SL4 servers?
Regards,
Michael.
