The 'up2date' I have on my 6.2 box does not recognize the '--nosig'
option.

I went through all this with Redhat yesterday.  'up2date' will not work
without a valid authorization.  IMO, 'up2date' should connect to
'priority' ftp servers if you have authorization, and connect to
non-priority servers if you do not have authorization.  At the very least,
'up2date' should work for non-authorized accounts in the case of updating
of software that have security or system threatening problems.
