The default settings for up2date/RHN ask it to check against GPG. And it uses a certificate for the HTTPS connection albeit it is RH's own CA. So from an ~architecture~ standpoint it isn't bone-headed. I don't know if the client, rhnd, etc. have been extensively audited or not though.

healthy. -- Donald Becker
