After doing the updates, my yum and my up2date both tell me the system is totally updated, and it is ... however, my rhn-applet says there are 781 updates ... and it lists as updates packages with exactly the same version ... and even some packages with older versions.
Any Ideas?
The rhn-applet is: rhn-applet-2.1.4-3.centos.1
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Mine says that too ... not a really big deal, I just removed it from the menu bar. It persisted after a reboot of the machine as well (still said 781 packages for update ... and every package listed as an update was either the same or older than the installed package).

Just for the heck of it, I downloaded the source RPM from Fedora Core 2 (rhn-applet-2.1.7-1.1.i386) and rebuilt it on a Centos 3.1 box ... it built fine, so I installed the rpm as an upgrade .... and it works correctly (shows zero upgrades and launches everything it is supposed to launch).

Cool - thanks - the one in CentOS is from fedora - I guess they must have patched it up for the new rpm or something ...
Did you have to build rhnlib as well ???

No ... all the requirements in the spec file were met with the updates ...
Requires: python >= 2.2.1 Requires: rpm-python Requires: rhnlib >= 1.4 Requires: python-xmlrpc >= 1.5.0 Requires: pygtk2-libglade Requires: up2date-gnome >= 4.1.5 Requires: pygtk2 >= 1.99.12 Requires: gnome-python2 >= 1.99.11-7 Requires: libgnomeui >= 2.0.3-1 Requires: libgnome >= 2.0.2-5 Requires: gnome-python2-gtkhtml2 Requires: /usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT Requires: e2fsprogs

Wierd ... python-xmlrpc isn't installed, but the build worked fine ...
and
[root@CentOS-31 root]# yum provides python-xmlrpc Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: CentOS-3.1 - Addons Server: CentOS-3.1 - Base Server: CentOS-3.1 - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Looking in available packages for a providing package No packages found Looking in installed packages for a providing package No packages found

package python-xmlrpc is not installed
Wierd ... python-xmlrpc isn't installed, but the build worked fine ...
doooh!
%if %{has_rhnlib} Requires: rhnlib >= 1.4 %else Requires: python-xmlrpc >= 1.5.0 %endif
So ... no python-xmlrpc is required if you have rhnlib >= 1.4
