rhn_register simply creates and registers your account on the Red Hat
network.  It doesn't actually do any updates.  So, you've done the first
part.

When you run up2date the very first time, it says that it needs the pgp key.
Simply cut and paste the line that it gives you and you've completed the
second part.

Now, run up2date -l to show the list of updates, and then up2date -u to
update all the packages.

The documentation is at https://rhn.redhat.com/help/basic/.  This is an
excellent manual that goes into each step and explains what you need to do
and what the steps are.
