View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running CentOS 5.4 and noticed that for the past month there haven't been any new updates showing up either on 'yum check-update' or 'yum update' (I'm interested in basic and security updates). Although this may be right, I wonder if there is an online reference where I can check the updates that are released for CentOS (security bulletins) and make sure if there is anything wrong with my update system.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have been forbidden to enable automatic updates on our Ubuntu servers, for both security and regular packages.When I log into any of my four Ubuntu servers, the welcome message contains this:
39 packages can be updated.
26 updates are security updates.
However, when I run the Nagios plugin that monitors APT, I get:
% /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_apt
APT WARNING: 33 packages available for upgrade (0 critical updates).
I need to know how to properly detect that there are pending security updates, and regular updates. Once I can do that, I plan to write a Nagios script that will return WARNING for pending regular updates, and CRITICAL for pending security updates.
I have been trying all day but so far I am unable to configure yum to use a proxy server to retrieve updates.Due a recent compliance mandate direct internet access had to be removed for a pool of our Cent/RHEL servers. I have added the http_proxy environment variable in /etc/profile using:
export http_proxy=http://ourproxy:8080
export ftp_proxy=http://ourproxy:8080
export gopher_proxy=http://ourproxy:8080
I am using the FQDN of the proxy server, and i can ping that FQDN from the CLI without a problem. When I do this and I reboot the server I can get to the internet through the proxy using links/lynx. Yum however stalls out after loading plugins. I have read in a few places that I need a trailing / after the port number above, adding this and rebooting has no effect.
So I tried specifying the yum.conf file... [URL]. When I do this yum still tries to contact the redhat/cent network directly. No behavior change. If I use tcpdump I can see the server I am running yum on try to directly connect without the proxy, which times out for good reason.
The proxy server I am running is squid, but I can see the server I am running yum on blatantly ignore any proxy settings I have tried so far. I am really in a hole on this one as I have to get several updates to fix vulnerabilities found during our last scan.
I'm in charge of a full RHEL inventary for a client and some of their RHEL are licenced but they doesn't know the license key applied to those servers...There exists some way to check the installed (and unlicenced Servers) for RHEL 5.5?

Like, is there a way to update the packages in 5.4 (sshd, kernel, librairies...)but without upgrading to a different release?

I recently upgraded to Fedora 15 from Fedora 14 using preupgrade. Most of the applications are working fine. But I am finding now that the OS does NOT check for updates. I am having to manually do the update each time although it is set to check for updates daily.
However, when I manually update using the code (below), it works fine.
Code:
yum update
The last round of updates to 10.04 changed the initrd image, which I wasn't expecting. How do I check the updates to make sure that this is in fact the expected behavior? I.e., how do I go back and check which updates were supposed to have been installed, check what was actually installed, and see which one modified the initrd and why?

View 4 Replies View RelatedStarting with Ubuntu Server 9.04, when I log in at times the OS smartly reports the number of updates available. I have a couple of questions of how to extend this functionality:
1) How could I back-port that functionality to 8.04 servers? Does that happen somewhere in the /etc/cron.daily/apt script? (Just the checking on # of packages needing updates, does not need to appear on the login screen.)
2) Then with that information, if the number >0 then use mailx to send admins an email. Since 9.04 and higher already do the first item, then in my mind #2 is the only thing needed for 9.04 and higher servers, and #1 is also needed for 8.04 boxes.
I started having connection issues after last upgrade.. how can i check and rollback some updates? 10.10 netbook
ps. there's no History in Ubuntu Software Center
I currently have Red Hat 5.4 installed and subscribed to red hat network for alert updates.The updates will be done by our administrator but I will like to check if the admin has done so on a weekly basis. Is there a command that generates a report or allows me to check if certain updates has been patched? I understand running a yum update will list all applicable patches. Should we just simply update all or only certain applications applicable to our organization environment?

View 1 Replies View RelatedA client has sent me an RHEL 5.1 box for me to do some work on, but it's not registered with Red Hat. This is causing me problems, because it's a minimal installation, and I need some more dev software.My immediate reaction was to install various bits (emacs, and so on) from my Centos 5(.0) DVD.The base RHEL system only had one (disabled) repo entry,so I added a yum DVD repo entry in yum.conf.d.
This looked good to start with, but it doesn't work. Something in RHEL's pirut/yum/rpm/whatever is getting confused, and can't work out what is/isn't installed.
Question - how do you maintain an unregistered RHEL box? Has RH done something to make life difficult? Is my problem simply that I'm using a Centos 5.0 DVD, instead of Centos 5.1? Am I stuck with downloading lots of rpms from the net and doing everything manually? I really don't want to do that.
