Patch analysis tool Redhat Enterprise release 4

Hello

I have been asked to provide a security patch analysis of servers in my environment. For HPUX and Solaris there are tools wich can be loaded onto the servers to do this. However I do not know of one for Redhat . At this point I must mentioned that the Redhat servers are behind a firewall and have no access to the internet.

I know I can download individual rpms and apply them, but is their a tool that can analyse the server for me and supply a list of up-to-date patches.

best regards

Darren.

Hi, I just wanted to know is there any tool avaliable for core analysis on hp-ux. I have heard about q4 utility. But I think it is used for analysis of system crash dump and not for core dump produced by a user process. gdb doesn't give much information unless the binary is debug-build. ...

NAME

       slist - Lists available NetWare Servers

SYNOPSIS

       slist [ pattern ]

DESCRIPTION

       slist lists all NetWare Servers available in your network.

       If slist does not print to a tty, the decorative header line is not printed, so that you can count the servers on your network by doing

       slist | wc -l

OPTIONS

       pattern
	  pattern is used to list only servers whose names match the specified pattern. For a server to be listed, the pattern must match the full
	  server name. You can use wildcards for the pattern, but you must protect these wildcards from any command  line  expansion  by  quoting.
	  Case doesn't matter.

EXAMPLE

       slist "I*"

       or

       slist "i*"
	      List all available Netware servers on your Network, that begin with an "I".

CREDITS

BUGS

       slist works only in IPX environment, as it uses SAP to find first server and then Bindery to get list of servers.
