Description daniel.deimert 2000-10-06 15:41:17 UTC
up2date's built-in helptext do not match its actual behaviour...


[root@localhost /root]# up2date 
You are not registered with Red Hat Network.  To use Update Agent,
You must be registered.

However, you can continue now with an anonymous registration, and only
your Red Hat Linux version and computer architecture will be sent to
redhat.com.  You are free to use the rhn_register later to take full
advantage of the benefits offered by the Red Hat Network.

To register anonymously, specify "--anonymous" as a command line option.
Your GPG keyring does not contain the Red Hat, Inc. public key.
Without it, you will be unable to verify that packages Update Agent
downloads
are securely signed by Red Hat.

Your Update Agent options specify that you want to use GPG.  Aborting.


[root@localhost /root]# up2date --anonymous

This is fixed in an errata release, to be released shortly.
