How to know the update

[Tonatiuh]

How can I know the UPDATE of my RHEL AS 3 installed?

[Alexander Chuzhoy]

you can look in the default /etc/issue file.
If you updated the OS-you'll see a release + and an update version.

[Tonatiuh]

I only see the release but not the update

[oracle@RAC1 oracle]$ cat /etc/issue
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon)
Kernel \r on an \m

[John Pretti]

You can view the log file /var/log/up2date. That will tell you exactly which packages were updated and if they completed sucessfully.

You could also view the installed rpm by issuing:

example to see installed openssh:
rpm -qa|grep openssh

Simply subsitute the package name for openssh and you can see the current version.

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
John

Tonatiuh,
according to your issue file [the same info you can see in /etc/redhat-release file] your system or RHEL 3 "out-of-the-box" version or you didn't upgrade redhat-release package.
