My apologies to you, William, and the listserve. I'll send my replies to the listserve from now on. You asked about the output from /etc/sysconfig/rhn/. Here it is: total 56 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 22 09:18 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 May 21 19:29 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 270 Apr 29 10:34 rhn-applet -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13 Feb 24 21:52 rhnsd -rw------- 1 root root 1304 May 21 18:01 systemid -rw------- 1 root root 1302 May 21 17:24 systemid.save -rw------- 1 root root 2931 Feb 5 23:00 up2date -rw------- 1 root root 1160 Aug 29 2002 up2date-keyring.gpg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2303 Jan 16 03:07 up2date.rpmnew -rw------- 1 root root 97 Apr 29 10:18 up2date-uuid -rw------- 1 root root 12288 May 21 10:16 .up2date:versionOverride=9.swp The .up2date:versionOverride=9.swp file was created after I followed a suggestion from one of the archived threads from this listserve. Per that message, as root, I did: rpm --query redhat-release cat /etc/redhat-release up2date --upgrade-to-release=9 --update Responses were, respectively: redhat-release-9-3 Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike) (the up2date command performed the update) Unfortunately, after all of that, I am now getting the exact opposite of the problem I was having initially: the RHN update notification icon is showing that my PC is up to date, but up2date is showing multiple updates available. I am open to your suggestions. Thank you, -Jake On Wed, 2003-05-21 at 21:45, William Hooper wrote: > Please send replies to the list.
