Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way for me to determine what security patches/fixes are missing on my Red Hat 7.3 Server. The server has no connection to the internet.

I tried to see what security advisories/bug fixes/enhancements were available on Red Hat's site but there were so many to look at (I didn't know if all of them were relevant to my server). Is there some kind of automated tool that I can use or some kind of command that will let me know what I'm missing?

Thanks for the info.
 
Usually, you would use RedHat's [tt]up2date[/tt] tool. But since you do not have a connection to the internet, you can't use this tool. So I guess you are left with doing the updating manually, looking at each bugfix and see if it applies. //Daniel
