I would wager that this is rhn-applet complaining, not up2date. The rhn-applet is broken in FC4 because of lack of repomd support. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=160873 You'd win. I did both google and read Bugzilla headers about this but there was no direct reference to my problem. I bet if you close the rhn-applet your traffic goes away, too. You win again. It did, indeed!

The point you are missing is that no form of registration is needed to get updates. The fact you are prompted to register when clicking the rhn-applet is a bug. -- William Hooper I've been able to update disregarding whether my registration was in order or not. Anyway, my problem is SOLVED! Thanks a lot, Bill! Antti
