i would think that if up2date gets an ssl error, it would exit with a
non zero exit status?

up2date -l ; echo $?
There was an SSL error: [('SSL routines', 'SSL23_WRITE', 'ssl handshake
failure')]
A common cause of this error is the system time being incorrect. Verify
that the time on this system is correct. 
0

 up2date --version; cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Update Agent v4.5.5-7.el4

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 5) 

any insight to why it works the way it does would be appreciated.
thanks
