cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
rpm -Uvh --test glibc-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm glibc-*-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm \
nscd-*-2.3.2-95.27-i386.rpm nptl-devel-2.3.2-95.27.i386.rpm

You will have to keep going until you get them all. If you are running RHEL3

Why not just upgrade (with up2date) to RHEL 3.9 we are up to now? They are
up to glibc-*-2.3.2-95.50
