Auto-installing security updates?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I've been asked to think about setting up an installation for a recently-
widowed man.  His needs are small - mail, Internet, on-line banking, basically 
- but his wife dealt with all of it on her laptop and he feels very insecure.

It seems to me that CentOS would be perfect for him except for the need to 
keep it securely patched.  I'm wondering if it's possible to auto-install 
security updates - for that matter, with so small a set of applications 
perhaps auto-installing every update would be good enough.

Maybe this could be done with a script run under cron.daily, so that anacron 
picks it up?

I'd be glad of any advice.
