Description Daniel Roesen 2000-09-30 04:12:04 UTC 
Sep 30 02:06:34 guinness rhnsd[1355]: running program /usr/sbin/rhn_check
Sep 30 02:06:37 guinness rhnsd[784]: command returned: ERROR: unable to
read system id. 

every $INTERVAL minutes. This is _very_ annoying. It also makes newbies
think, that they actually NEED such a system id (see guinness-list for an
example).
Comment 1 Preston Brown 2000-10-04 18:42:44 UTC 
A new version of rhnsd will soon be released which explicitly checks for
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid before running a subcommand.  It will log at the
DEBUG level what it finds, therefore not logging to syslog by default.
