================================================================================
 etckeeper-0.58-1.el5 (FEDORA-EPEL-2011-5139)
 Store /etc in a SCM system (git, mercurial, bzr or darcs)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Update to 0.58, a bugfix version.

>From the upstream changelog:

 * Changed to store all permissions of files and directories, even those with standard permissions of 644 and 755. This is unfortunately necessary in order to support etckeeper init on a checkout that was made with a nonstandard umask, in which case the files that were expected to be 644 and 755, won't be. Closes: http://bugs.debian.org/649701 Thanks to Дмитрий Матросов for reporting the bug and developing a fixup script (attached to the bug) which could be used if you've already encountered this problem.
 * Bugfix for filenames containing single quotes.
 * Use git add -A, which automatically removes deleted files, and avoids a separate call to git add -u. Thanks to Miklos Vajna, whose patch in 2008 was deferred because -A was then too new, and languished in a branch until found today.
 * Optimised metadata storage.
 * cron.daily: Don't stop committing when a stale packagelist.pre-install file exists. Thanks to gulikoza for noticing this bug.

 pam_mapi-0.1.0-1.el5 (FEDORA-EPEL-2011-5141)
 PAM module for authentication via MAPI against a Zarafa server
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

pam_mapi is a PAM module (Pluggable Authentication Modules) for authentication against a Zarafa server. Applications like Zarafa WebAccess, Zarafa WebApp or Microsoft Outlook which directly connect to the Zarafa Collaboration Platform use MAPI in SOAP to do so. If Zarafa is configured to use the DB authentication plugin, all user information are stored in a MySQL database.

Once IMAP/POP3 is used via the Zarafa Gateway, SMTP gets involved for outbound e-mails, too. Usually this requires SMTP authentication (to avoid open relays), but the user information in the MySQL database is unfortunately not accessible for established SASL daemons. The pam_mapi module is filling this gap by adding MAPI-based authentication to PAM and thus to SMTP daemons via SASL.

Just execute "cat /usr/share/doc/pam_mapi-0.1.0/pam.conf > /etc/pam.d/smtp" for a simple setup. Please read the documentation for more extended configurations.
