Nothing else is needed. Can you elaborate on the problem? Have you gone through the registration process by running rhn_register? What's the output of 'rpm -q up2date'? Mine is up2date-3.1.23.2-1 . In the future, error messages are more useful to the list for debugging than us trying to find where you went astray in the list of things you did try. hth, Jurvis LaSalle Sorry for the lack of info. The output from rpm -q up2date is: up2date-3.1.23.2-1. I already tried running rhn_register with root, and a bunch of ssl errors show up in the xterm. I know many other people had this problem, but for them it seemed to be fixed after they installed the update... here's info about up2date: [root@localhost mike]# up2date --config --nox 0. debug No 1. rhnuuid 89e480ac-747b-11d7-9df2-e0d311fa0dea 2. isatty Yes 3. showAvailablePacka No 4. depslist [] 5. networkSetup Yes 6. retrieveOnly No 7. enableRollbacks No 8. pkgSkipList ['kernel*'] 9. storageDir /var/spool/up2date 10. adminAddress ['root@localhost'] 11. noBootLoader No 12. serverURL https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC 13. fileSkipList [] 14. sslCACert /usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT 15. noReplaceConfig Yes 16. noReboots None 17. useNoSSLForPackage No 18. systemIdPath /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid 19. enableProxyAuth No 20. retrieveSource No 21. versionOverride 22. headerFetchCount 10 23. networkRetries 5 24. enableProxy No 25. proxyPassword 26. noSSLServerURL http://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC 27. keepAfterInstall No 28. proxyUser 29. removeSkipList ['kernel*'] 30. useGPG Yes 31. gpgKeyRing /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date-keyring.gpg 32. httpProxy 33. headerCacheSize 40 34. forceInstall No 35. noReboot No Thanks -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
