The following are output which is desired from the RHN and Subscription Managment yum plugins. This bug is for the RHN side of the changes:

Registered to Neither
----------------------------
RHN: This system is not registered to RHN classic. You can can use rhn_reg_ks to register.
SM: This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.

Registered to RHN Classic (Or Satellite)
----------------------------------------------------
RHN: This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic
SM: This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.

Registered to Customer Portal (Or SAM or CFSE)
---------------------------------------------------------------
RHN: This system is not registered to RHN classic. You can can use rhn_reg_ks to register.
SM: This system is receiving updates from Red Hat Subscription Management.
-- OR --
SM: This system is registered to Red Hat Subscription Management, but not recieving updates. You can use subscription-manager to assign subscriptions.

Registered to both

Based on an email thread I have, there is a desire for each plugin to always print something, every time it runs - so that someone knows where they are potentially getting their RHEL content from. 

NOTE: If the yum-rhn-plugin is disabled, we will not print any messages. If it is enabled though, then we will print messages as requested below. *BUT* with small modification.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion
in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.  Product Management has
requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for
potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release for currently
deployed products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in
a release.

yum-rhn-plugin doesn't care about Subscription Management registration status or errors, so the above can be boiled down to:

If registered to RHN Classic or Satellite display this message:
"This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic."

else display this message:
"This system is not registered to RHN classic. You can can use rhn_reg_ks to register."


The error messages as written above are misleading because they only mention RHN Classic when the user could in fact be registered (or not) to a Satellite. Furthermore, there's actually a couple of ways we could decide that we aren't really registered to Satellite or RHN Classic, so we need to display slightly different error messages in those cases. Also, yum-rhn-plugin has a standard string that it always displays in a variety of error situations that reads "RHN Satellite or RHN classic support will be disabled." I would like to keep that in as-is just in case customers have scripts to parse logs for that string to look for errors. I will implement the fix for this bug so that the messages read as follows:

If never registered to RHN Classic or Satellite:
"This system is not registered to RHN Classic or RHN Satellite.
You can use rhn_register to register.
RHN Satellite or RHN classic support will be disabled."

If previously registered but lost systemid file for whatever reason:
"This system may not be registered to RHN Classic or RHN Satellite. SystemId could not be acquired.
You can use rhn_register to register.
RHN Satellite or RHN classic support will be disabled."

If you are registered and everything goes smoothly:
"This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or RHN Satellite."

If someone disagrees with my changes to the messages let me know, but I think it still fulfils the actual requirement.
