color=#0000ff size=2>Up2date does. With systems registered with up2date, you can
login to rhn.redhat.com and view each system's profile, what packages need
updating etc. Sometimes though, say if you install a package using rpm, your rhn
system profile gets out-of-date because it doesn't know you manually installed
an rpm - hence by running "up2date -p" you can syncronize what is installed on
your redhat system with the online database of your systems profile.

<DIV></DIV>Hi all,<BR><BR>I've just got an E-mail from Red Hat Network Alert for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.<BR>And this time I scrolled down to the lines <BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>This Errata Advisory may apply to the systems listed below. If you
know that<BR>this errata does not apply to a system listed, it might be
possible that the<BR>package profile for that server is out of date. In that
case you should run<BR>'up2date -p' as root on the system in question to
refresh your software profile.<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>and I was wondering what is the
replacement for 'up2date -p', yum does not support this option.<BR>Do I always
need to schedule this update on the RHN page?<BR><BR>regards<BR>Gabriella
