RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description John Sefler 2015-02-13 23:03:29 UTC 
Description of problem:
There are a few typos and grammar improvements that can be made in the rhsm.conf man page.  See the comments that follow for each.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-os7 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-1.13.19-1.el7.x86_64
Comment 2 John Sefler 2015-02-13 23:17:10 UTC 
[root@jsefler-os7 ~]# man rhsm.conf | grep mananager
       rhsm.conf - Configuration file for the subscription-mananager tooling
                                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

typo in "subscription-mananager"; should be "subscription-manager"
Comment 3 John Sefler 2015-02-13 23:18:14 UTC 
[root@jsefler-os7 ~]# man rhsm.conf | grep "pulldown"
           with the server and to pulldown content.
                                  ^^^^^^^^

"pulldown" is not a word; should be "pull down"
Comment 4 John Sefler 2015-02-14 16:23:11 UTC 
[root@jsefler-os7 ~]# man -P cat rhsm.conf | grep "COPYING" -A5
