OK,
I'm UNIX SA. I am quite familiar of the concept of patching... I
regularly download the newest patch set's from SUN and see if they apply to
the software installed on my system, if they do, I will install them. A
similar concept applies to HPUX.
Can someone explain how patching relates to RedHat Linux. I have
seen recent messages about up2date, which from my knowledge seems to upgrade
just the kernel. What utilities / procedures are there to patch other parts
of the core OS. -- Do you just wait for new versions of software, and do an
rpm -Fvh <filename>.rpm, on them, or is there some other procedure? What
guidelines do you all use when determining what rpm's / other software to
upgrade? I am running RH 6.2, and just went through the agony of updating
rpm 3.0.4 to 3.0.5.
-TIA
