red hat up2date not working

[drick1]

hi,

i am running red hat 9, and trying to use the up2date command to update my system, and am getting a weird error:

[root@palpatine root]# up2date -u
There was an SSL error: [('SSL routines', 'SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE', 'certificate verify failed')]
A common cause of this error is the system time being incorrect. Verify that the time on this system is correct.

I am using the redhat NTP server, and have tried changing the clock to no avail.

any ideas??

I haven't seen this, but try turning NTPd off temporarily and running the following...

service ntpd stop
ntpdate clock.redhat.com
service ntpd start

Here's the answer to your problem...


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1


The certificate used by up2date and rhn_register to communicate with the Red Hat Network reached its end of life on August 28th 2003. Users attempting to connect to Red Hat Network will see SSL connection or certificate verification failures.

New versions of the up2date and rhn_register clients are now available which are required for continued access to Red Hat Network.

* RHSA-2003:267 for Red Hat Linux:

* RHSA-2003:268 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-268.html

New versions of the up2date client that contain the new certificate are immediately available for download at:

https://rhn.redhat.com/help/latest-up2date.pxt

For users who would prefer to install the new certificate directly, it is available at:
