According to the RH5 Errata, the most recent package for
scsi-target-utils is scsi-target-utils-1.0.8-0.el5.x86_64.rpm

However the latest update via yum on CentOS is labeled
scsi-target-utils-0.0-6.20091205snap.el5_5.3

Additionally, the package info says it is not compatible with iSCSI yet,
which is false! There were some critical updates for this package
according to RedHat, so how can I be sure that I am at the correct
version? In looking at some other packages on my CentOS system, like
httpd, I am noticing they are also out of date in regards to Red Hat
updates. Is this common?

probably due to the fact that centos 5.6 hasn't been released yet, any
packages released by RH in 5.6 and afterwards aren't in centos yet.

Looks like you are correct -- I didn't realize RH5.6 had been released.
Thanks for that.
