FYI, automatic updates of SL4 are presently failing on many machines because
recently updated java rpms have no cryptographic signatures.

Please run this command to update these rpms manually:

rpm -vh --upgrade /triumfcs/mirror/scientificlinux.org/4x/i386/errata/SL/RPMS/j2sdk-1.4.2_12-fcs.i586.rpm /triumfcs/mirror/scientificlinux.org/4x/i386/errata/SL/RPMS/java-1.4.2-sun-compat-1.4.2.12-1jpp.i586.rpm

Our scripts for automatic system updates require that all rpms be cryptographically
signed as protection against fake rpms distributed by compromised mirror sites. (Yes,
it has happened in the past).
