Security Basics: Re: Patch manager for IBM AIX

["Brenda B Gombosky" <brenda.gombosky () louisville edu>]

IBM provides a web-based service at:
http://www-912.ibm.com/eserver/support/fixes/fcgui.jsp 

We use it, the AIX 'instfix' command and a spreadsheet to track
patches.  We also subscribe to IBM's patch notification service.

It's a simple X11 application to download the patches you want.
