Disclaimer: I agree with Tom; running 7.3.2 is a bad idea.
That said: like he said, he can't. He's running RHEL 4.0. Presumably he
is on a support contract, so moving to non-system software means he no
longer has vendor support and upgrades for the packages installed on
his system. Pg 7.3.x is what came with RHEL 4. Considering RHEL 3
will EOL (finally) at the end of October, RH is going to be supporting
Pg 7.3 for quite a while. Hopefully they'll back port security fixes.
