I'd ask for clarification or escalation on this. This is just an unconscionable and untenable position for any hardware manufacturer to take, and could just be the poorly informed opinion of some lower-level support tech. For one thing, it puts you in a catch-22: don't you give up RedHat support if you are not uptodate ? (I'm not sure, but I'd guess so.) It also obliges you to run your systems in a potentially insecure state. Typically, hardware manufacturers certify an OS, e.g. RHEL5 (not a particular update level), certainly Dell and IBM do this. Not sure this is the appropriate document, but a support matrix at: <http://www.fujitsu.com/downloads/PRMRGY/support-matrix.pdf> does not mention update levels for the various RHEL releases, for what it's worth. -Ed _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
