Description Radek Bíba 2013-12-02 10:21:27 UTC 
Description of problem:
# rhn-channel
Username: <filtered out>
Password: 
ERROR: you may want to specify --add, --remove or --list

This is kind of strange. Why do I have to enter my credentials if the output then contains nothing about the system's subscription? The error should be printed right away.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhn-client-tools-1.0.0.1-16.el6
