Watch it for it to timeout (maybe) Actual results: Sometimes it times out (at random places). or Sometimes it works. Expected results: It should work all the time.
Closing. This is doing the right thing by throwing a timeout. This is typically because of something going wrong in RHN Hosted and not Satellite. However, if there is a slowness to the network, you can boost the timeout value by editing the value for: DEFAULT_TIMEOUT in: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rhn/SSL.py It defaults to 120, but you can raise that number to something significantly higher if you like. Otherwise, there may be a problem in RHN Hosted that requires an email to helpdesk.
