From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: I followed the directions in RHN 3.2: Client Configuration Guide, Chapter 6 to modify the bootstrap files. Once the script is placed on the Proxy, the following line fails: rhnreg_ks --force --activationkey $ACTIVATION_KEY Looking at the code, /usr/share/rhn/register/config.py sets the configuration file, but then it hard codes the serverURL instead of reading it from /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn_register (line 128 and 131). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rhnreg_ks --force --activationkey $ACTIVATION_KEY 2. 3. Actual Results: Network failed to connect because the box can not reach http://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC Expected Results: I would like the file to get serverURL from /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn_register Additional info:
Assume this is a RHEL 2.1 reported bug. Since RHEL 2.1 is EOL'd - closing this out. I know for a fact that in current RHEL 3, 4 & 5 client code using rhnreg_ks with --serverUrl=<> will write to the config files this new serverUrl value. I do this all the time. Cliff
