Description

run /usr/sbin/up2date as root instead. What your seeing is userhelper (the
dialog that asks you for a root password) attempting to run in
X. up2date itself respects --nox, the userhelper dialog does not.
This has been fixed in later releases.
>1. Take PUTTY (a windows SSH client) and enable X tunneling.
>2. SSH into a Redhat box from a windows machine that is not running X.
Thats somewhat of a broken case. up2date itself knows how to
handle this case (even sans --nox). It will attempt to talk to
the bogus DISPLAY, and when that fails, fall back to nox mode.
userhelper, on the other hand, does not. This is fixed in 8.0.
so closing as "currentrelease"
