Request for Enhancement: I would like to set Auto Update Errata to yes as a default value. With the amount of RHEL clients I'm dealing with and other IT folks at NCSU I'd like to set up RHN so that it requires the least effort from folks that maintain machines around campus. I would like to change the default value of Auto Update Errata to yes for newly registered machines. For example, I have computer labs of 100+ linux workstations. Machines don't get fixed if they are broken, they just get reinstalled. After they re-register they need to pick up updates automatically without me or another IT person having to locate the machine in RHN and change its settings. I'll note here that I see several duplicate bugs about Auto Update Errata not working. I can confirm this as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHN 3.2.1
This is not going happen. Auto Update Errata can be very dangerous for somebody. Enabling "Auto Update Errata" for bung of system is easy in few click in System Set Manager. But it is true that you can not set up this value for newly provisioned systems. Neither using Activation key nor in Kickstart.
