[rhn-users] up2date broken

[Jesse Fitzgerald]

Peter,

I actually fixed the problem by removing the up2date conf file and 
re-generating a new one. I'm not sure exactually what was broken in that 
file, but that did the trick. /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date

I used up2date --configure to make the new one. Something was obviously 
misconfigured in that file.

Kind regards,


Jesse  :)
