If you do not than I would suggest you find a different distro. All packages distributed by Red Hat for the production releases are gpg signed. If you trust that the key has not been compromised then all should be ok. IOW, just how paranoid are you? > Is that the way to update patches and > other holes in red hat now? It does not install patches. It installs updated rpms. It is one of many ways to keep systems updated. I do not use it personally but a lot of others like it. > Can anyone help me out? You could help yourself out by doing a little homework and/or asking on the correct mailing list.
