[wellylug] adding security repos

Hi all

I have an ubuntu server, that I can only access using SSH.

After about 6 months of running it, going "apt-get upgrade" reports that 
I have no packages that need upgrading. This seems unlikely, as I'm sure 
there would have been security updates to install by now.

So I need to enable the security repos.

In /etc/apt/sources.list.d there are two files. main.list and universe.list

main.list simply has
deb-src http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted

while universe.list has
deb http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty universe multiverse main 
restricted
deb-src http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty universe multiverse

What do I add, to which file?? I'm guessing

deb http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty security-main 
somethingsomething??

Thank you!
R
