At least not on a fresh 5.5 install with just blade 1 installed.

I agree.

I doo all updates using  command line  ....rpm -Uvh   " the rpm"

Using the 'advanced options' of the Update Sustem.  I have just seem 'dmc-SMEServer-5.5_Update2-pkg-2.noarch.rpm' which I have not installed.  Is that the problem I wonder?

Hi

I've read the e-smith.org homepage article about the current mandatory security update, but am unsure of the relationship between these updates and "blades".  Are they the same animal?

The update offered to my 5.5 server today via the blades panel is update 1.  Update 2 is not available via this route.

The homepage suggests a command line approach to installing update 2.

Must I use the command line that I am unfamiliar with?  For such a critical update notification it seems to me that the blades approach would achieve faster, wider and less error prone installation throughout our servers.  

Please correct my mistakes, but should I

1. download the advertised rpms via ftp using my client workstation.
2. push these files to my user home folder on the e-smith (again from the client)
3. log in to e-smith locally and do....
"To install the update, download the appropriate RPMS into a directory on your SME Server and run the following commands as root

    rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs *.rpm
    /sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
    /sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

4. please, where in these commands do I enter the path to the downloaded update files.


Thanks for your help

David
