Chapter 2. Red Hat Update Agent

After running this command, your RHN System Profile will reflect the latest software versions in-

stalled on your system.

2.3.5.4. Log File

The

Red Hat Update Agent

keeps a log of all the actions that it performs on your system in

the file

/var/log/up2date

. It uses the standard rotating log method. Thus, older logs are in

/var/log/up2date.1

/var/log/up2date.2

, and

/var/log/up2date.3

. The log files store

actions performed by the

Red Hat Update Agent

such as when your RPM database is opened,

when it connects to Red Hat Network to retrieve information from your System Profile, which

packages are downloaded, which packages are installed using the

Red Hat Update Agent

, and

which packages are deleted from your system after installation. If you choose to install and delete

packages yourself, it will not be logged in this file. You should keep your own log of actions not

performed with the

Red Hat Update Agent

2.4. Configuration

The

Red Hat Update Agent

offers various options to configure its settings.

If you are not running the X Window System or prefer the command line version, skip to Section 2.4.2

Command Line Version

2.4.1. Using the Red Hat Update Agent Configuration Tool

You must be root to run the

Red Hat Update Agent Configuration Tool

. If you start the

Red Hat

Update Agent Configuration Tool

as a standard user, you will be prompted to enter the root password

before proceeding. The

Red Hat Update Agent Configuration Tool

can be started by typing the

command

up2date-config

at a shell prompt (for example, an xterm or a gnome-terminal).

2.4.1.1. General Settings

The

General

tab allows you to enable an HTTP Proxy Server. If your network connection

requires you to use an HTTP Proxy Server to make HTTP connections, select the

Enable HTTP

Proxy

option and type your proxy server in the text field with the format http://HOST:PORT.

For example, to use the proxy server http://squid.mysite.org on port 3128, you would enter

http://squid.mysite.org:3128

in the text field. Additionally, if your proxy server requires

a username and password, select the

Use Authentication

option and enter your username and

password in the respective text fields.
