Hello,

I have been asked to come up with a strategy for centralized patch
management of our linux servers.  Today, this is only centos and rhel.
   What is everyone else doing in this arena?



I investigated this earlier.
The only thing that seems halfway usable is pakiti: http://pakiti.sourceforge.net/

People who think that running "yum update" every night is a solution should go back and do some research. This is how it might work at home (mostly), but not the way you deploy patches to a large number of systems who serve different purposes and thus have different package-selections, user-requirements, patch-policies and downtime-schemas etc.pp.

I hope to be able to test pakiti soon.



cheers,
Rainer
