I just downloaded kernel 2.4.18-19.7 from
ftp://back01.us.megagiga.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.3/en/os/i386

I'll upgrade this ASAP

So glibc-kernheaders is supposed to have a different version number than
the other glibc-packages and even the current kernel?

I found version 2.2.5-42 of glibc, would it be a good idea to upgrade,
rather than trying to get this fixed with the current version?

How about /etc/localtime.rpmnew?
Why /etc/adjtime?
Here's alist of 'time' files in /etc/:
[root@localhost rpms]# ls -lh /etc/*time*
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           49 Jan 21 03:41 /etc/adjtime
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         1.0k Jan 21 11:52 /etc/localtime
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         1.2k Oct 10 16:52
/etc/localtime.rpmnew
-rw-rw-r--    1 root     root           15 Sep  4 10:18 /etc/timezone
[root@localhost rpms]# diff /etc/localtime
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Brussels

As you can see /etc/localtime is no longer a symlink to
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Brussels but the files do match (I haven't
run dateconfig yet)

>   2. rpm -Uvh glibc-common-APPROPRIATET_VERSION_HERE*

Ok but what would the appropriate version be?
Right now I have:
[root@localhost rpms]# rpm -qa | grep glibc
glibc-2.2.5-42
glibc-debug-2.2.5-42
glibc-common-2.2.5-42
compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2
glibc-utils-2.2.5-42
glibc-profile-2.2.5-42
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.16
glibc-debug-static-2.2.5-42
glibc-devel-2.2.5-42
But I just downloaded:
[root@localhost rpms]# ls | grep glibc
glibc-2.2.5-42.i386.rpm
glibc-common-2.2.5-42.i386.rpm
glibc-debug-2.2.5-42.i386.rpm
glibc-debug-static-2.2.5-42.i386.rpm
glibc-devel-2.2.5-42.i386.rpm
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.16.i386.rpm
glibc-profile-2.2.5-42.i386.rpm
glibc-utils-2.2.5-42.i386.rpm
[notice I didn't find compat-glibc-2.2.4-42]

Thanks for the tips,
