Description Michael Solberg 2008-05-09 11:52:12 EDT

Description of problem:

I'm using a combination of rhnreg_ks in a kickstart file and firstboot for a
desktop deployment.  firstboot nags my users to register even though they're
already registered.  Should be a pretty simple fix - just add a class similar to
NoNetworkPage that checks rhnreg.registered().

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 5.1, firstboot-1.4.27.3-1, rhn-client-tools-0.4.16-2.el5_1.9


How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a kickstart with a combination of:

firstboot --enable

and 

/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks --activationkey=<key>
in the %post section

2. Reboot.

Actual results:

Firstboot nags the user to register when they boot for the first time.

Expected results:

Firstboot should thank the user for registering with RHN.
