Hi,

With "../rhn/sources" you mean /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources?
Yes.
But it seems up2date hangs if it cannot connect to xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com
The actual official up2date package for FC1 can not handle RHN channels. Comment "up2date default" with a leading # in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file.
I have no "up2date default" in my /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources It was the one in my initial post.
strace of up2date
connect(5, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(443), sin_addr=inet_addr("66.187.232.101")}, 16 <unfinished ...>
Then up2date hangs.
Do not use up2date with RHN.
Never wanted to do so...
Here is my sources file: ### an yum style repo ### format: ### type channel-label url
[ snipped yum.conf parts ]
which yum.conf parts?! This was /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
up2date does not use yum and the yum.conf. up2date requires a valid /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file.
This was not valid? Why?
