Description of problem: Before I received my own account, I used a co-worker's account to install bootstrap script + register the machine with IBM RHN Satellite server so that I may use the up2date client. Then I got my own account, asked Mark W. to configure my account to use up2date. I reinstalled my OS, and reran these 2 steps, wget + rhnreg_ks, but it has a validation error with my new account. Please advice. Much thanks in advance.

If you choose to submit the bug report, please be sure to include details of what you were trying to do when this error occurred and details on how to reproduce this problem.

If you go to the rhn website (http://rhn.redhat.com) and attempt to log in, what happens? Can you use the 'lost login/password' link to determine if perhaps you have the wrong password/username? Do you know if your subscription is activated?
Ahh, there's another account I need to sign up. I signed up for the W3 Enterprise Linux network which said I have access to RedHat network. Anyway, I went to http://rhn.redhat.com and sign up for a corporate account. It works now, please close this bug. Thanks for your help.
You're welcome, and glad I could help!
