Hi, I just updated one of my test systems to the latest rpms with up2date against a current server running current-1.0.5. The upgrade process went OK for a while, then it dumpped a stack trace and spit out an error message about "SSL_connect error". It took me a while to realize that the error was due to the fact that up2date rpm itself was upgraded in this process and a RHNS-CA-CERT file from RedHat has replaced the same file for my current server. Obviousely , the up2date client still had more tasks to do, but unable to do so due to certificate mis-match. I would suggest that up2date rpm should be skipped from upgrade by default, along with kernel* rpms. Also a short paragraph should be added to the docs to warn users about this fact and direct users to re-install custome RHNS-CA-CERT file after upgrades. Just my $0.02 for the day.
