RPM Updates
By selecting this option for your systems, you assure the fastest possible delivery of packages that
update the security and reliability of your systems. Here’s how it works:
1. Select the systems to receive RPM Updates.
2. Select the Package types you wish to receive.
3. Select the types of Errata Alerts you wish to receive.
4. Configure the Red Hat Update Agent on your local system by running
up2date-config
on the
systems that receive RPM Updates.
If you are not running the X Window System, run
man up2date
to determine how to configure your
preferences. Certain Red Hat Update Agent settings disallow automatic installation to protect system
integrity. Please confirm the installation process for any Errata Alert you receive.
Email Errata Alerts
Get the notifications you need by email. If there is a Security Alert for any of your systems, we
can contact you directly. Select
Yes
to receive email notifications for new Errata that affect your
systems. Then customize your notification delivery by choosing which systems you want to receive
alerts about. If you don’t want to receive email notifications, answer
No
. If you later decide you want
to get notifications by email, return to this page and change your preferences.
Visual Alerts
Under the
Visual Alerts
section, select the visual alerts you want to see for all the systems in your
network group. You can set alerts to appear whenever a new Security Alert, Bug Fix Alert, or En-
hancement Alert has been issued for one of your systems (see Figure 5–4, Visual Alerts).
