Question 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.
