Hi,

Can we able to download security packages through reposync command, i want to download all latest security patches for my linux
servers.

we have central repository which is connected to RHN from there i wants to download the security patches and
update the patches to my client servers.

Please help me on this...

Hello,

From your client servers you can run:

yum update --security

If what you are looking for is to download security packages only into your repository server run:

yum update yum-downloadonly (it requires yum-plugin-downloadonly package)

The above is just a general configuration, feel free to share more details about your environment and if you have a Standard or Premium subscription with Red Hat, feel free to raise a support case via customer portal.
