What is the channel that the system thinks it's registered with?

Comment 2 Bob Stent 2004-09-30 18:03:13 UTC
Do you mean at redhat?
The channel shows as 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v.3 for x86)'

when I run rhn_check I get ...

Could not retrieve action item from server <Server for 
xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC>

Huh. It shows that where? On RHN's website? Elsewhere?

Comment 4 Bob Stent 2004-10-01 18:40:42 UTC
It shows on rhn website

Comment 6 Suzanne Hillman 2004-10-04 18:12:00 UTC
Have you reinstalled this system since you initially registered it? If
so, you will need to re-register. Remove the entry on RHN, then run
rhn_register to do this.

Comment 7 Bob Stent 2004-10-04 18:20:45 UTC
No, it has not been reinstalled.  This is the OS shipped on the 
system.

Comment 8 Suzanne Hillman 2004-10-04 18:48:33 UTC
Have you ever been able to up2date the system with the initial
settings? If not, you would probably be best off to remove the entry
and run rhn_register anyway. It's possible that something got messed
up or confused during the initial registration.

Comment 9 Suzanne Hillman 2005-04-08 14:37:28 UTC
Closing due to lack of reply in many months.
