And there lies the rub. You have to read the errata for each rpm and see if it applies, with the exception of the security patches.

See if you can get the firewall re-configured to allow use of up2date it is good. I also use it when I want to install a new package I just say up2date package-name. I used to go to the RedHat site and then find the RPM's I needed down loaded them and then did a rpm -ivh package.rpm. It was time consuming especially when there was a dependency problem.

My resolv.conf points to my Local DNS servers, just to my Local network. Can I download the necessary patches from a site and then apply the patches on my machine ? Thanks again -----Mensagem original----- De: jmarkuna [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Enviada em: sexta-feira, 3 de janeiro de 2003 12:09 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Assunto: RE: Patches on Redhat 7.1 Hi You can always do a rpm -q package-name. Obviously uname -a will show the kernel rev. I had a 7.1 Lunux box in production and had problems until I updated the kernel via up2date. If you are on a network take a look at resolv.conf it should look like Search domain name e.g search ban.com Dns primary ip address 198.16.4.2 Dns secondary 198.33.9.4 You can also issue the command netconfig and reset your network info, ip address default gateway.

When I tried to run rhn_register, I received a "No route to host" message. My server can not reach the internet. Isn�t there a command that can be executed locally to see my patches applied and then download a new one if I need ? Thanks again -----Mensagem original----- De: jmarkuna [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Enviada em: sexta-feira, 3 de janeiro de 2003 11:40 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Assunto: RE: Patches on Redhat 7.1 Hi Issue the command rhn_register then issue the command up2date. Sometimes when there is a lot of traffic you will not be allowed to use up2date as RedHat sells what they call entitlements for $60.00 per system. I personally think up2date is great!
