[Jack Neely]

Announcing the release of updated OpenAFS packages and OpenAFS kernel
modules.  OpenAFS provides access to a globally distributed and enterprise
class network file system.  

This update brings OpenAFS version 1.6.5 to both EL5 and EL6
repositories.  This version addresses critical security vulnerabilities
and is highly recommended for any users of the OpenAFS file system.

and reading of the above security advisories and other information at
openafs.org is recommended.

Once these packages have been updated, it is recommended to reboot your
machine to properly reload the kernel module.  On EL6 machines you will
need to run kernel 2.6.32-358.el6 or greater.

Thank you,
