I have a requirement to load CentOS 7.3 on to a server. I have the distribution on a bootable USB key.

I know this comes up on the list quite often, but if you want security updates for 7.3, you're going to end up with 7.9 + patches, so why are you making your life difficult and installing such an old release?

If a vendor is telling you that you have to run a particular version, perhaps you should consider finding another vendor, the baseline 7.3 has a lot of glaring vulnerabilities in it that are readily exploitable.

I am not even 7.3 sure that is available for RHEL-7 at this point with security.
