[PLUG] RH up2date: SSL Connection Errors

[Sandy Herring]

Those of you running Red Hat and using up2date should be aware that the SSL
certs have expired and need to be renewed...

[ from rhn.redhat.com, moderate snippage ]


SSL Connection Errors

   On August 28th, the SSL certificates used by up2date, rhn_register,
   and the RHN applet expired. Systems attempting to connect to RHN using
   an older certificate will receive 'certificate verify failed' errors.
   Please see the following instructions to download the latest versions
   of up2date and rhn_register.
