There is a OpenPKG package called 'apt', though I'm not familiar enough with it to tell if it satisfies your requirement. The closest thing to automatic security update is you writing a script to check new packages in ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.3/UPD/, or even better to parse the .rdf file on the FTP server. Have cron run this script then. You have a strong stomach if you want to upgrade your servers automatically without first reviewing the advisories. Remember that in some cases a config file will be moved, and that will require your attention. Lastly, take a look at the package called 'openpkg-tool'. It is useful in learning which of your packages are current and which are in need of upgrade. It can even create a script to upgrade your old packages, and their dependencies as well. $ man openpkg $ /cw/bin/openpkg build -Ua >runthis.sh or $ /cw/bin/openpkg build -s -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Development Team, Operations Northern Europe Cable & Wireless Telecommunications Services GmbH
