Wait and schedule a downtime window for it. That's the heart and soul of linux. That's playing in the devils den if it's a production machine. It's the same in one as the NSS libs on the machine. They break then you will have to install things by hand. RPM and Yum will not work period. If the machine in question has like a Fencing Device (like a drac card ) with an IP addy that's public then maybe (that is card dependent). John
