Description of problem:
The following error is shown when trying to launch up2date:

Error Message:
Please run rhn_register (or up2date --register ... ) as root on this client
Error Class Code: 9
Error Class Info: Invalid System Credentials




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Every time!


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on Launch up2date
2.
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:
To see up2date on screen


Additional info:

The machine has already been registered (system name spritsail).  There was a
problem in sending the hardware details during the registration, however I've 
found no way to update the information contained in system information on
RedHat.  Thus I don't see how the registration, should impact on the ability to
update the system or how the system itself may have "invalid credentials".

Advice/resolution of this is urgent.

Thanks
