My test server pulled down another bash update and several nss updates 
via automatic yum last night. All seemed okay, so I updated the live 
server also. A few hours later, I found that none of our authorize.net 
payments were processing (annoyed customers). The error was a failure to 
connect to authorize.net. This was happening from both our test and live 
servers, which connect to two different authorize.net sites for live or 
test transactions. I ended up re-booting each server to resolve the 
issue, and all is fine with the world now. So a word to the wise - you 
may need to re-boot after taking the nss updates. I don't think the bash 
update had anything to do with this.
