Hi guys.

I believe you need to download the latest SSL certificate.  I am
enclosing an email I got from RHN about this...

-----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:
       https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-267.html

     * 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:

    https://rhn.redhat.com/help/ssl_cert.pxt
