Greetings,

We have our RHEL4 systems deployed with the failover functionality setup 
where clients first hit our RHN proxy, but then go to RHN hosted if 
something happens to the proxy.

The version of up2date released today in RHEL4.6 perhaps contains a bug 
whereby if the noSSLServerURL, serverURL, and sslCACert config settings 
contain a trailing ";", up2date will bomb out.

We face a major problem since when our users update their systems, the 
newly install up2date will cause subsequent updates to fail.  Effectively 
requiring manual intervention.

I bugzilla'd this:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=385161

Anybody have any comments about this?  The client config docs suggest the 
use of the trailing ";"

Anybody else having troubles?

thanks!
