Description of problem:
I have 12 servers that I administrate that were registered to our Red Hat Satellite Server and all were working fine. I checked on the WEB page for on the satellite yesterday and they were no longer showing up... I tried to do an up2date -l on the servers and received the following:

[root]# /usr/sbin/up2date -l
Error Message:
Please run rhn_register (or up2date --register on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 or later)
as root on this client
Error Class Code: 9
Error Class Info: Invalid System Credentials.

[root]# 

I contacted the administrator of our satellite server and he said the servers that were assigned to me are no longer showing and he suggested that I try to re-register as message suggested.. When I did that I received the following:

[root]# rhnreg_ks --activationkey "d2defa494dde54cef09be8bc8a666d4a" --serverUrl http://mural18.cmg.convergys.com/XMLRP
This system is already registered. Use --force to override
[root]#
[root]# rhnreg_ks --activationkey "d2defa494dde54cef09be8bc8a666d4a" --force --serverUrl http://mural18.cmg.convergys.com/XMLRP
An error has occurred:

Hi there, 
The client side /var/log/up2date should have a traceback associated with the AssertionError. 

I strongly recommend to please use your support contacts to open a ticket with support for further troubleshooting of this issue. I hope that a resolution can be provided and this bugzilla closed out. If supports do indeed find a bug that needs to be addressed, they will correctly associate your support ticket to a bugzilla for you.

Regards,
Clifford.
