That was definitely easy to do. In case someone should be following
this thread I will include URLs to two RH docs that were most helpful:

  http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-2726
  http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-6668

Tomorrow I will tackle the rsync of the /etc/hosts.deny file back to
the RHEL3 box.

Thanks again for your suggestion.

Regards, Hugh
