I have 8 production machines on 9 and 7.3 and always visit the RedHat network website to do my updates manually.
I've update kernels through this method many times and had no problems. I've only had one problem, it stopped xinetd on one 7.3 box a few times. I spoke to a RedHat Chief Instructor about this last week and he thinks it was something else not related to rhnsd. I also know that RedHat will setup a local server solution if you have a lot of machines and don't like the huge bandwidth hit when updates are downloaded automatically.

Could I get some specific examples of the up2date syntax typically used to update systems. BTW I use RH AS 2.1. How do you handle issues like updating kernel stuff separate from just nonkernel packages? Does anyone use cron for automated updates? Do you trust the up2date program enough to handle kernel updates automaticly?
