The default configuration of a rackspace server is to have a file named /etc/cron.d/rs_rhncheck with the following contents: 0 2 * * * root /usr/sbin/up2date --nox -u This means that on most days I receive an email telling me that "All packages are currently up to date" which is of little value and is annoying when there are multiple machines doing it. I believe that we need a quiet mode to instruct up2date to not display anything (IE skip the email) when it finds nothing to do. Please include this in RHEL 4.5 as I expect that Rackspace and many other providers will be running RHEL 4.x machines for their customers for a long time.
