Hi All;

We're having discussions within our company about standardizing on a
Linux server OS so we can also standardize our methods & approaches to
configuration, security, etc based on what type of server it is (web,
database, etc).

That said, we'll need to be able to manage updates in a very controlled
manner. Can anyone point me to any info, documentation, etc in the area
of managing security on RedHat / RPM based distro's, how to manage
security updates via yum, best practices for non yum based packages, etc ?


Thanks in advance
