With RedHAt's up2date is great and it works, now I know of another way.

It's when RedHat Certificate Expiration let's us users down, that we
have to do this extra work.

It's like saying sorry we locked the door but here are the materials to
get another key and you try to figure it out with minimal assistance.

It's as if their diligence fell down but us users have to pick up the
pieces without any explanation form them - is what irks me...

Consumers like being treated specially, it's what brings them back and
talks about their customer focus. Happy customers talk about their good
experiences that promote others to use the product or service.
