thanks, Matthew so where do I identify changelog /url for RH73 'file' ?
You mean Red Hat Linux (RHL) 7.3, right? To get the changelog of the currently installed version, you can run "rpm -q --changelog file" this is the same as the previously-mentioned command, but getting its information from the local RPM database, instead of using the "-p" (package file) option.
But surely you must know that Red Hat Linux 7.3 received its last security updates many years ago - a quick Google search shows it was 31 December 2003, almost four years go.
While I applaud your effort in keeping things up to date manually, many programs are much harder to build and configure than "file" - and many many security issues exist in software from 2003, especially in the kernel. If you care anything about security, I think you would be better served by migrating away from RHL 7.3 to a much newer distribution that has current updates.
