updating autimatically fedora with new patches

Hi,

I am installing 2 fedora 7 servers in the DMZ. I want to configure
them to check and retrive new updates something like Microsoft
update.thought to use up2date in cron tab. I want it to work
automatically and install patches without me needing to confirm
anything.

is there a better way?

what is the command to insert in crontab? alsowhat ports and access to
which ip's I will need to open from the dmz to the internet?

thankyou very much !

Juan
