Configure fc2 up2date for Fedora Legacy

Since Fedora Core 2 (fc2) has been moved to legacy earlier this year there are a few changes required to keep fc2 up-to-date automatically. A description of the required changes to update fc2 for legacy with yum are available here.
I prefer to use up2date and rely on the rhnapplet to notify me about available updates.
This document describes the required changes.

The configuration for up2date are located in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources.
You can easily modify that file so it looks like this:
yum fedora-core-2-base http://download.fedoralegacy/fedora/2/os/$ARCH/
yum fedora-core-2-updates http://download.fedoralegacy/fedora/2/updates/$ARCH/
yum fedora-core-2-legacy-utils http://download.fedoralegacy/fedora/2/legacy-utils/$ARCH/

Having made these changes you may want to update the GPG-key:
rpm --import http://www.fedoralegacy.org/FEDORA-LEGACY-GPG-KEY
Having made these changes up2date and the rhnapplet works fine...
