Hello,

We are running CentOS 5.5 on a server that is not reporting any security updates: [root@server01 ~]# yum -y --security check-update

This feature (yum --security) has not been implemented and CentOS developers are working on it. See the thread on the mailing list:

http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2012-August/008675.html

I've been testing the yum-security stuff at this end and still have a few issues to work out ( mostly involves reading AUP's and T&C's from various places to make sure the metadata being consumed does not violate anything )

Hope this helps,
