I was about to say that 'yum update' updates bash properly, however it seems that it actually fails - after 'yum update' prompts me to update bash to 3.0-19.3 it says "error: unpacking of archive failed on file /bin/bash: cpio: rename". I'm guessing that has to do with chmod settings or something? Though I don't know how to resolve that either.
