[oclug] Debian 2.1 and apache

[B McKee]

Well,  I managed to become the first ever 'Ask Shadowman' question on this 
very topic.  (April if you want to go look).  The short version follows:

...your system has been profiled and registered with Red Hat 
Network. Once that is done, your system will "check in" with the Red Hat 
Network on a periodic basis, looking for updates and actions to be performed. 
If you temporarily want to stop this from happening, just enter this command 
/sbin/service rhnsd stop 
You can also disable it forever with another command
/sbin/chkconfig --del rhnsd 

HTH,
Brian

> nuts.
>> You know, the more I use up2date
>> the more I like it.  I just disable the 'phone home to check for updates'
>> daemon.
