I noticed a couple hours ago that there were some new files (Mozilla) in

new files from the Fedora Announce list. But rather than just plowing
ahead with an upgrade of these Mozilla files, I thought I'd wait until
my Notification icon turned into a red bang. Does anyone have any idea about how long that takes? Is that period of
time configurable?




/etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd



Fedora Core doesn't use this. The applet checks every 4 hours, this default value is hardcoded I asumed changing this would make people abuse the feature, apparently I was right :-)



I set mine to 30.

Ok, glad to know that I wasn't dreaming regarding the lack of notification .. Now I know why :)

Does the rhn-applet always check w/RedHat or does it look at the configured yum directories?
I have configured all of my Fedora Core systems to point to a local yum repository and I'm wondering if the rhn-applet looks there or looks at redhat.
