That is the major upstream bash version on which the Red Hat version is based ... this will likely never change throughout the lifetime of each individual man branch of CentOS .. that is, CentOS-5 will likely always say 3.2.25(1)-release, CentOS-6 will likely always say 4.1.2(1)-release, etc. What you need to do to check the version is this: rpm -q bash the result should be (if you have the update): for c5: bash-3.2-33.el5.1 for c6: bash-4.1.2-15.el6_5.1 for c7: bash-4.2.45-5.el7_0.2 Note: Some people may have ARCH enabled in their RPM commands, so a .i386, .i686, .x86_64 might be on the end of the above output, so for c7, it might say: bash-4.2.45-5.el7_0.2.x86_64 Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
