Imed: Where is what output I got from rpm -Va. I'm not a full-time sysadmin to understand all the low level stuff with the various libraries and packages. I can tell you that RH's engineer was thinking maybe some of the packages that were retrieved by the up2date utility got built on the wrong server internally. No one has gotten back to me yet though. I can make the box do enough low level chores to get by for two more days, but I'm going to do a clean RHEL4 install Tuesday night at this point. I will do another one simultaneously while walking a business owner through enough steps to get a minimal install, and I will then be able to control it remotely for the rest. I have gotten hosed before by an exposed system getting infected with a root kit. Does this look at all like evidence of that? The box isn't exposed publically - just via VPN.

non-Red Hat core system library like a custom libstdc++, libgcc and such.
