Solution
Version:  Network Sentry 7 & 8


Currently the Linux Persistent Agent does not have the ability to be updated via the Network Sentry Administrative UI.  The update process must be done from the endstation.

Steps to update the Linux PA:

1.  Obtain the new install package (either rpm or deb package depending on platform).
2.  Remove the old package by typing one of the following commands:
rpm -ev <old agent filename>
dpkg --purge <old agent filename>


3.  Install the new package.  Type one of the following commands:
rpm -i <new agent filename>
dpkg -i <new agent filename>
