[rhn-users] up2date errors

[Clinton Fernandes]

It looks to me like you may not be running up2date as root in some
instances, but that's just from what I see of the output.

I suggest you go to the rhn site and see what errata you still need to
update. Presumably some packages failed when you ran from the command
line, and others were successful. The RHN site should then tell you
specifically which packages failed (although not why).

I cannot remember offhand what an exit status of 126 means (other than
unsuccessful). Does anyone else?
