Thread: Red Hat registration of a system

Earlier, a system was set up for us by Bill Bryce.
We started with installing RHEL5.1

At the time Bill told us to skip the part where we register the system
withg the Reds Hat network,
and that we could do that later.

So, 30 days have passed, and we now HAVE to register it, as the license
manager has suspended ourt updates.

So, I have:
A valid Red Hat login & account for this machine
A Red Hat Installation Number

On the machine I need to run
"rhn_register"

When I do so it takes me to a screen that says:

Please enter your login information for the
https://intel7.lsf.platform.com/XMLRPC Red Hat Network Satellite:
Login: ____________________ â
Password: ____________________ â

When I enter the (valid) user and password for the Red Hat subscription
I want to assign, I get an error, and it quits.
Here is the error:

===================================
[root@localhost-eth0 ~]# rhn_register

Apparently ( or so it appears) by installing KUSU this way, the machine
has somehow become "tied" to your groups
Red Hat ID.
As a result it is rejecting my login and password.

Or... I do not know what else..?

Can you please help?

Hi Maurice
=20
Bill had used our test RHN satelite server. That is no longer =
available.
=20
Take a look at the "rhn*" commands. The systemid it has is probably =
invalid, because it was for our satelite server, instead of the real =
ones.
=20
If I had to guess at a solution I'd move the =
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid, then "yum clean all", then rhn_register.
