OK, making progress. I had another look at /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date and saw the lines:
disallowConfChanges[comment]=Config options that can not be overwritten by a config update action disallowConfChanges=noReboot;sslCACert;useNoSSLForPackages;noSSLServerUR L;serverURL;disallowConfChanges; So I rem'd out: serverURL[comment]=Remote server URL #serverURL=http://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC And added noSSLServerURL=http://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC So now yum update is happily downloading packages. Thanks for the prod Hugh.
