    Hi
    If it's Vulnerability Alert Services you are looking for I launched a new
    page last week detailing exactly that. Currently I have 8 listed and I
    can't find any more. If you do go down this road make sure you evaluate
    them thoroughly as they do vary somewhat in value.
    You will find them here http://www.networkintrusion.co.uk/alert.htm if you
    come across any more, please let me know so that I can update the page

    take care

    On Microsoft platforms there is a patch management util called SUS
    "software update service?? (I think)
    Once configured, the server will automatically download relevant
    patches, you then point the clients to the sus server and push updates
    to clients that way.

    On debian it's about running an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' having selected
    the security.debian.org packages mirror.
