Actual Results:  
[root@websphere root]# up2date --nox --register
Traceback (most recent call last):

Expected Results:  up2date should have allowed me to register the machine under the supplied account details.

Additional info:

The machine is a fresh install, done yesterday.  It does not have X installed.  It is Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 3).

Installing X and gnome seems to have fixed the problem.
