Eek! :)
Jarod's guide will more-likely-than-not be moving away from yum soon, as it
doesn't seem to mix well when 3rd-party packages are introduced (while apt
and smart work fine). The move will be to smart, since apt doesn't play nice
on multiarch x86_64 systems. More or less substitute any yum command w/smart,
and they ought to work.

Both of those are provided by the rpm-python package. Looks like your distro
is either RHEL4 or FC3, no? (FC4 has python 2.4). If so, it gets a little
tricky, as you may have both python 2.3 from Red Hat and python 2.4 from
ATrpms, and/or rpm from ATrpms, in which case, it might be a different
package you need to provide the python 2.3 rpm bits...
Personally, unless running true RHEL, I find the RHN applet to be a big waste
of time. Its badly broken on FC4 (and not fixed for FC5), anyhow.
