So not SOOO bad, just Badenough (said the Moose to Rocky).

There is that. Just a check shows that #49 is fixed in what I have 
installed:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-1268.html

And #50:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-1363.html

So I would ASSuME that I can work with keeping my install current and 
will stay on top of things. At least for a while.

And getting back to the start of this thread, until something shows up, 
I will just ignore that ~/etc/named/ directory....

thanks
