Patches for CentOS

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

I have installed BigFix client on at server running CentOS 5.4. Client version is 8.1.617.

The server subscribe to the following sites:

  • BES Asset Discovery
  • BES Inventory and License
  • BES Support
  • DISA STIG Checklist for RHEL 5
  • Linux RPM Patching
  • Master Action Site
  • Patching Support
  • Windows Point of Sale

In the BigFix console the server list 754 installed packages in Application Information.

Running “yum update” on the server lists updates of 304 packages, however I’m not able to find any relevant fixlets (except DISA STIG Checklist) using the Tivoli Enpoint Manager Console.

What steps have i missed to make updates for CentOS available?

Thanks in advance.
