Hey,
The easy way to make sure you are up to date with all the latest patches is to run: # yum update
There is an even easier way -- tell cron to apply YUM updates every day.
There is a HowTo on the cAos site here:

and for the paranoid among you.
you can use yum check-update to display the updates that should take place from cron, if there are no updates, nothing will be outputted.

check-update sounds better than putting yum update in a cron job. Only a mad man would do that! Much better to run a daily cron which rsyncs your local patch repository. That way you get an email which indicates the new packages and you can then test & deploy at your leisure. When it comes time to install on your other machines, the patches are already local.

And you may want to run in non interactive mode ( so you don't have to prompt ):
yum -y update
You can also run yum as a daemon. Issue "man yum" at the command prompt.
