I think that this issue with up2date in combination with the 
rhn_register command is well documented in bug ID :114530

If you comment out the line "up2date default" in 
the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file you will no longer have problems 
with channel subscriptions, RHN registrations and weird things that 
actually ARE useless (from my point of view) for the fedora distro.
This is because fedora users, do not have any option to alter their 
channel subscriptions from the RHN official site.
However, that used to be a very usefull utility for the Redhat 
distros, where you were able to subscripe your system in a channel 
like "updates" and have it been automatically updated with up2date.

So 2 options are available:
1. Either the official support from Redhat Network will stop 
completelly for Fedora or 
2. Developers will modify the programs, not to include the 
rhn_register option for the users

Since my participation in redhat bugzilla is very limited, i don't 
alter the status of this "BUG". But if my information was usefull, 
than, someone plz change the status of this "BUG"
