How did you become root? Log in as such, or 'su' to it?
I logged straight into root. Although, i have entered the root password while logged in as another persona. In either case i get the same update error.
The error indicates the systemid sent up identifying the client doesn't match anything in the database. If you have changed to serverUrl (to point at a RHN Sattellite for example) could be a cause. So verify serverURL in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date is pointing at https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC also, if you could give me your RHN username, I can try to verify the server is registered properly.
The URL above is the serverURL is see in the file. my RHN user name is Oliveira3Lin1. Thanks
