No, it wasn't. Red Hat shipped 7.4.x on RHEL-4, and the current package
there is 7.4.29. Red Hat did ship 7.3.x on RHEL-3, and the current
package there is 7.3.21 + several back-ported patches. 7.3.2 hasn't been
current on any Red Hat distro since 2003. I know because I do the work.

If he is depending on a third party vendor that can't be bothered to
update past 7.3.2, he needs to find a less incompetent vendor. Pronto,
before he loses more data to their incompetence.
