Do both systems have X installed? It looks like either one -not- having
X will suppress consolehelper's graphical form. If you just run
/usr/bin/up2date as yourself, what happens then (I get a popup window)?

That looks pretty reasonable.
[bevan at wallace ~]> sudo /usr/bin/up2date

These were all clean installs, although I do go back and replace some
config files to make the system play properly in the environment.
The relevant-ish are:
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/ldap.conf
/etc/pam.d/system-auth
/etc/sysconfig/authconfig
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
It's got my curiosity now... I want to know why our systems seemingly
behave differently.
