Good Morning Pierce! I can use yum install --security from the client. But, we can to try setup a method to update security patches on multiple servers by grouping them as Dev, QA, Prod, etc.
Can we use this "yum --security (any options)" to run from the spacewalk server to update a list of client systems? "If you install the 'yum-security' plugin you can update by errata type from the CLI (e.g. yum list-sec)." Please advice, Thank you again! -PV -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2012 10:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Spacewalk-list Digest, Vol 48, Issue 47 Send Spacewalk-list mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Spacewalk-list digest..."

I see that we can select the systems and then manually select (select check-box) the security erratas Is there a automatic way to select all security patches via GUI/browser or command-line? Command-line, I would prefer run from spacewalk server i.e. push to client system method Please advice, Thank you in advance! -PV -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
