I've changed the sources in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources to reflect a mirror instead of redhat. The problem is I never get a "red exclamation" when there is an update. I have to manually launch u2date before it sees any updates.
Did I miss a setting somewhere? Thanks,

I posted a similar request a while back, and while others said they experienced the same thing, I never found a solution.
The only time I notice it switch to the red exclamation mark is when a reboot is done or if I manually check for updates and there are some updates available. Since upgrading to FC1, the applet has not detected updates as it previously did with RH9.
I have run the update for the up2date applet as well.
I have run system updates using the yum.conf found at artoo's fedora faq.
Here's the reference from the archive: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2003-December/msg02556.html
Since that time, I've reconfigured my up2date sources to be the same mirrors I'm using with yum, but that doesn't affect anything about this issue.
Manually using up2date works as it should -- it's simply not detecting updates when they exist, as it ought to.
I've wondered if there is some "time-between-checking-for-updates" variable that is set for some crazy long time rather than once a day or every x hours, but I've not run into anything in the configuration for up2date.
