Over to PPP
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Can you please verify this with a newer Fedora release please?
Please verify this with a newer version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora Core and reopen it against the new version if there is still a problem. Closine as "not a bug" for now.
