Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 147513
rhnreg_ks doesn't start rhnsd automatically
Last modified: 2012-06-20 09:22:59 EDT
Description of problem: If you are registering a system for the first time (or any time you are registering a system in which /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid is not present), rhnreg_ks will not automatically start rhnsd on your behalf. This is because rhnreg_ks tries to start rhnsd before it writes out the systemid, but rhnsd checks for a systemid and refuses to start unless one is present. Either write out the systemid first, or remove the check for a systemid prior to starting rhnsd. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhel-3-u4, rhel-4-rc, probably rhel-2-u5 but didn't check How reproducible: Always
issue exists in rhel-2-u5 also
up2date-4.4.8 should have the fix (this version is aimed for rhel3 and rhel4)
up2date-2.9.13 should have the fix for rhel2.1
We don't have an errata for U1, so guess this isn't getting fixed there. Moving from the U1 blocker list.
