Is this valid for Fedora Legacy? (No up2date support, right? Or is someone out there using Current?)
up2date can be used with a yum or apt backend, so it is still relevant. Not sure if it passes this proxy information on to these backends, warrents some looking into, although not really a security issue.
The proxy setting needs to be set in two places. The Red Hat Network Alert Notification tool has a proxy setting. The up2date tool also has a proxy setting. I'm guessing you need to run "up2date --configure" and set your proxy there. I'm closing this as it is not a security issue.
