RPM packages quite often contain trigger-scripts that handle
everything automagically. That might not be the case if you go
from rhel3 to rhel5 packages though.

Make backups before you try anything.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.


Hey Andreas,

Going to rhel 5 from rhel 3 is also in my to do list.
May be, i'll upgrade to rhel 5 before i upgrade nagios to 3.2.3

So, since i am gonna use the rpm, you suggest taking backups and just
upgrading the nagios packages. Right?

Anything apart from this that i need to take care of?

Thanks
Sunny
