My questions is two fold. First is this group aware of any other patches that would require user interaction. For example if I have set up automatic updates, in what instances would I need to reboot and/or manually restart a damon.
The benefit of the patch is not realized if one of the patched modules is in memory. So if sendmail or postfix were patched you might miss something important if you only rebooted or restarted for kernel patches. If as root you do lsof |grep "RPMDELETE" it will list all modules that are in memory but which have been replaced by an updated rpm. You can then schedule these for restart, or reboot as you wish. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
