Description Beth Nackashi 2006-05-12 19:08:08 UTC 
Description of problem:
up2date --register/rhn_register does not check if a system is already registered
unless you use the --nox option.  If you invoke up2date --nox --register or
rhn_register --nox, you will get a message saying "This system appears to
already be registered.  Continue anyway?"  Not so without the --nox option.

It shouldn't matter whether or not you're using the GUI or the TUI, you should
be informed if the system is already registered. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up2date-4.4.69-8 (RHEL3)

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Register a system.
2.  Run up2date --register.  GUI pops up with no warning that the system is
already registered.
3.  Run up2date --register --nox.  TUI gives a warning.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:
User is warned that the system is already registered, regardless of --nox in the
command line.
