Before using the Red Hat Update Agent, you should configure the settings. This can be done with the Red Hat Update Agent Configuration Tool.
If you are not running the X Window System or prefer the command line version, skip to the Section called Command Line Version.
You must be root to run the Red Hat Update Agent Configuration Tool. If you start the Red Hat Update Agent Configuration Tool as a standard user, you will be prompted to enter the root password before proceeding. The Red Hat Update Agent Configuration Tool can be started using one of the following methods:
On the GNOME desktop, go to the Main Menu Button (on the Panel) => Programs => System => Update Agent Configuration
On the KDE desktop, go to the Main Menu Button (on the Panel) => Update Agent Configuration
Type the command up2date-config at a shell prompt (for example, an xterm or a gnome-terminal)
