[rhn-users] RHN: best practise kernel updates

[Daryl Field]

Hi, I'd like to ask what you all consider to be the best practises when 
updating kernels on rhel3 boxes.

We exclude kernel updates via /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date - which I 
assume to be the default.

One thing that bothers me - because we do this - every system listed on 
the rhn web interface shows that updates are required, red excamation 
mark. This means I have to check each group/system to see wether an 
actual package is outdated or its just the kernel business. An 
inconvenience for sure.

So back to kernel updates - download the rpm manually, -ivh it, then 
check grub and /boot seems to be the rh manual approach. I'd be very 
interested to know how you all approach this.
