Hello,
As I've learned recently, I do not have any auto updates configured on my
system. I see some posts on the web encouraging the use of "yum-cron", but I'd
like to know what people feel about the use of automatic updates.
That is, for a server (non-desktop) system, automatic updates could break
things or have other unforeseen consequences, and that could happen at the worst
of times, since the process runs regularly.
On the other hand, for small businesses without highly trained sysadmins or
ones with enough time to baby their servers, missing critical updates to, say
openssl or some other mission-critical package could spell disaster.
Is the only reasonable solution to schedule a "human cron" once a week to look
at needed updates? Ouch.
Thanks in advance for your considered opinions.
