Operating Systems Linux Red Hat How do I install security patches with no internet access? Post 302800891 by verdepollo on Tuesday 30th of April 2013 06:12:03 PM

If you have a valid RHN contract, you can download any package you want from Red Hat site using any standard web browser and then copy them to your server.

If not, then it's possible to get the packages from an open repository such as CentOS' and manually transfer them to your server (FTP, USB stick, local network, SneakerNet, etc).
