This looks a bit odd, I cannot think of any reason why would the registration
fail at that point and with that error other than temporary RHN (server side)
indisposition.
Does
$ telnet xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com 443
connect to the server from the machine in question without any problems?
This is what I get when I try that command: [root@saturn X11R6]# telnet xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com 443 Trying 209.132.183.44... Connected to xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com (209.132.183.44). Escape character is '^]'. ^ Connection closed by foreign host. [root@saturn X11R6]# I then try to run the rhn_register, even over ssh and I get this [root@saturn ~]# rhn_register There was an SSL error: (104, 'Connection reset by peer') A common cause of this error is the system time being incorrect. Verify that the time on this system is correct. [root@saturn ~]# The system does have the right time and is connected to our internal ntp server and the rhel ntp server. Please open a support ticket for investigation and troubleshooting of this issue. We can reopen this bugzilla if a valid bug is determined that needs resolution. Cliff |
