This information is dangerously incorrect: the yum command with the –security flag on CentOS does not work. Please see the following articles:

It would be nice if Mr. Cánepa would confirm the proposed problems with this HowTo's application to CentOS, and possibly rewrite it to just apply to Red Hat. I already know about this issue, and came across this post looking for more novel solutions. Leaving this incorrect information out there in the wild seems irresponsible.
