wu-ftpd-2.4.2b15-6 has been replaced with wu-ftpd-2.4.2b18-2.1 in
the security/RPMS area. AutoRPM should pick it up on it's next
update. Since ftpd is run via inetd.conf a system reboot should not
be necessary.
minicom also has a security problem. RedHat has not released a version
that works on 5.0 yet. They claim they did in the errata but they did
not. If the 5.2 version is used it fails because of dependency on a
newer version of libcurses. If the libcurses is updated then lots of
other things break. SO we have not placed any newer version of minicom
in the security/RPMS area until RedHat gives us a working version for
5.0. So at the moment either remove minicom or disable it.
