Oops that should have been to [log in to unmask] not the 
errata list (which bounced me...)

I can't see that srpm in my SL mirror yet.  Is it missing?

I just grabbed a copy from TUV to check what patches they had applied.

BTW can anyone tell me a good way to build the kernel-module-fuse-* packages 
for kernels which arn't actually installed?  I ask 'cos for 
kernel-2.6.18-53.1.4 the NFS serving is broken (ACLs broken causing errors from 
some clients etc), so we need to build our own 'patched' kernels 'til it is 
corrected.

TUV knows about it and hopefully it will be fixed in a released kernel soonish. 
I can offer a small patch which works for us if anyone else is seeing this 
problem.
