Redhat time...

randomdave · 10-23-2003, 06:26 PM

Hey there,

I have just started down the path of linux (trying to move off M$) and so am learning - from scratch. I am starting with security and so ran up2date --register and got an SSl error apparently due to my time being incorrect. I want to now set the time but am having trouble finding how to do so from command line - I haven't installed any GUI's. I have a redhat 9 server system installed. Can anyone help?

Thanks
Dave

You need to update your ssl security keys and up2date
here is the link to the website for the ssl update if you have no gui use a windows or another linux system to download the files

SSL Connection Errors

On August 28th, the SSL certificates used by up2date, rhn_register, and the RHN applet expired. Systems attempting to connect to RHN using an older certificate will receive 'certificate verify failed' errors. Please see the following instructions to download the latest versions of up2date and rhn_register.

Ok understand,

So is it possible to download it from command line from that site? I haven't installed a GUI only a text webbrowser.

Sorry about the elementry questions but the redhat online guides are massive and it's taking a while to sift through them

Thanks
Dave
