I think about "apt-get update/upgrade" for Debian, "yum" on Fedora... You could probably in an easy way write a little script (maybe playing with sudo) to automate these updates and cron it. As i'm not a Linux expert, take this just like a probable way. Regards.
If you need something more sophisticated, and useful for a network of machines running Linux then you can try The Redhat Network from Redhat, that's it's supposed to be a very good tool to distribute upgrades in a network with many machines. -- Jose Maria Lopez Hernandez Director Tecnico de bgSEC jkerouac () bgsec com bgSEC Seguridad y Consultoria de Sistemas Informaticos http://www.bgsec.com ESPAÑA The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles. -- Jack Kerouac, "On the Road" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ethical Hacking at the InfoSec Institute.
