[TriLUG] fedora-redhat.com and fake security mails

[Matt Frye]

In case you're following the fedora-redhat.com fake security patch
story ( http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/10/24/2352234&tid=172&tid=110&tid=218&tid=106
), or have received any of these, they are completely fake, as is the
aforementioned website.  Red Hat security is already on this.  See
below...
