I did the same thing and even grabbed the files from the same ftp When rpm was updating, there were two script failures, reboot. I'm hosed.

What's the command to revert back to the older version of glibc?
You need rpms for packages you want to revert and then rpm -Uvh --oldpackage
<list_of_rpm_files_with_packages_you_want_here> In a case of glibc do not foreget about 'nscd' package if you have that installed.
In general 'rpm --help | less' and look at results.

Thanks - that fixed it for me (OP).
FYI I went here: ftp://limestone.uoregon.edu/fedora/6/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS
and got: glibc-devel-2.5-3.i386.rpm nscd-2.5-3.i386.rpm glibc-2.5-3.i386.rpm glibc-headers-2.5-3.i386.rpm glibc-common-2.5-3.i386.rpm glibc-utils-2.5-3.i386.rpm
then: rpm -Uvh --oldpackage glibc*.rpm nscd*.rpm
that fixed it.
Death before Decaf!!!
