This stuff is cool. I started to notice that RHN client rhn_check started downloading the necessary updates from rhn.redhat.com that were scheduled. It is pretty cool, how this whole thing works. My question is do i need to keep logging on to the rhn website to check for updates, select the ones i need to be updated and have them scheduled? What can i do to set up the client (rhn_check) to get updates automatically w/o my having to visit the website. Also i noticed that some errata failed to apply due to dependency problems. How do i force dependencies to be applied if needed? Do i need to do this on the website, or can i use the command line or edit a script. If so what are the commands? Does the rhn_check daemon keep running or does it wake up periodically. Also while the daemon is running, how does it impact live users?
