Why does the up2date applet in FC4 think it can't connect to RHN (showing
a gray circle with a red diagonal line as in "access denied"), when if I
start the applet, up2date works fine?
The applet turns gray when the RHN servers can't be reached. usually
you need to
right click on it and select check for updates to have it try to connect
to the servers again.
If they are up again the applet will become blue again. Or (as you
discovered) clicking
on it and running a session will "fix" it (assuming the servers are up)

Obviously, the applet does not notice any new updates, and that annoys me.
I keep my system fully updated by doing a manual update periodically.
Thanks!
