Hi,
I'd like to find out is it safe to update the server using YUM.
I have a CentOS 5 server running Plesk Panel 9.3.0 and I want to keep it secure by updating components.
I have run yum check-update command and its output is below but i have a few questions.
1. Is it safe to update everything on that list?
2. I have spamdyke installed will updating server using yum stop it from working?
3. Can someone explain how to interpret the output screen, what does base/updates mean in the third column?
Output from yum check-update:
