Regarding application of security patches RHEL 5.5
Hi
Is there a direct way to apply a particular security advisory on the system.
Presently we have certain security advisories to be applied which require installation of multiple rpms and their dependencies.
These rpms as listed in the security advisory also mention that they have been outdated by other releases.
So the question is that is downloading and applying all such rpms the only way to confirm to the security advisory or there is some other direct way to get the security advisory updated at the system.
Hi, I'm pretty new to Linux and I want to download security patches and install them on RHEL 5.4.
I've searched the red hat web site but cant seem to find where the download link is. (5 Replies)
I need to find out list of installed patches from given list of patches.
I have tried using instfix -f <File containing list of patches> -i -c
But I was not able to understand the output of this command. It was like below.
bos.perf.tools: :0.0.0.0:?:
bos.rte.libc: :0.0.0.0:?: ... (4 Replies)

pam_stack(8) System Administrator's Manual pam_stack(8)NAME
pam_stack - recurse into other PAM stacks
SYNOPSIS
auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=foo
session optional /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=foo
password optional /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=foo
account optional /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=foo
DESCRIPTION
In a nutshell, pam_stack lets you "call", from inside of the stack for a particular service, the stack defined for any another service.
The intention is to allow multiple services to "include" a system-wide setup, so that when that setup needs to be changed, it need only be
changed in one place.
ARGUMENTS
debug turns on debugging via syslog(3).
service=name
tells pam_stack.so to execute the stack defined for the service name, which will usually be another file in /etc/pam.d.
EXAMPLE
/etc/pam.d/imap:
auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
auth required /lib/security/pam_shells.so
/etc/pam.d/system-auth:
auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_krb5.so
auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_unix.so shadow nullok
auth required /lib/security/pam_deny.so
CAVEAT
Because recursion is fully supported, there is potential to really break things by having a stack call itself either directly or via mutual
recursion.
BUGS
Let's hope not, but if you find any, please email the author.
