How about doing rpm --rebuilddb?

wouldnt a reboot cause any daemon to update whatever needs to be updated?

up2date makes use of the rpm database...but it's possible that, after you
manually installed the updates, that the rhn daemon hadn't had a chance to
update your system's entry.
Out of curiosity, if you're using up2date to check on your system's
status, why not just use it to update the system, as well?

I downloaded the updates that were available for my 8.0 system.
I used rpm -Uvh to install them, and it seemed to work ok. There were no
error messages (ran them as root). However, they dont seem to have gone
into effect. The update agent still says i need all those updates. When i
reboot i dont have the updated kernel.
can anyone tell me why its not working? Do i have to pay the $60/yr
subscription fee to redhat or something?
I think you need to tell update that the packages are already updated
since you did it outside of the tool. I have not used it but looking at
the docs should help.
