I have been having the same problem, I think. The icon stays with the blue check, and never informs you that packages are available. When you click on the icon you can see the packages and download them etc. I just rebooted as I knew there were updates available this morning. when the system came up the Icon did it's initial check-in then it said it was checking in with Red Hat.. then the icon became the long-missing red exclamation! Somewhere I read that the Icon was supposed to be checking for updates every 4 hours. I'm sure I saw that somewhere, but it's not in the graphic setup 'up2date-config'. Apparently it is either not checking except at start-up, or whatever it does check doesn't have the info. I have all the usual repos in my rhn/sources file as: #up2date default yum fedora-core-1 http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1 yum updates-released http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-1 #yum updates-testing http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/testing/fedora-core-1 yum livna-stable-fc1 http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/1/i386/yum/stable Could it be that the line default should not be commented out? the comment line above it says that that one would make it use the default URL in the up2date config file, but if it works on boot-up, I can't see that that is a problem. Just cheked, the only URL in the file is called a noSSLURL. Anybody got a real good handle on this? Scott
