What version of rhn_register is this?
1.3.2-1
Try it without the 'http://' on the proxy declaration. I think that's the problem.
Thanks. Now I get Host not found The file is ........ # Automatically generated Red Hat RHN Registration config file, do not edit. # Format: 1.0 noSSLServerURL[comment]=Remote server URL without SSL noSSLServerURL=http://www.rhns.redhat.com/XMLRPC enableProxy[comment]=Use a HTTP Proxy enableProxy=1 httpProxy[comment]=HTTP proxy in host:port format, e.g. squid.redhat.com:3128 httpProxy=autoproxy.uk.deuba.com:80 serverURL[comment]=Remote server URL serverURL=https://www.rhns.redhat.com/XMLRPC debug[comment]=Whether or not debugging is enabled debug=1
the config engine for the next version of rhn_register is going to be more robust about the format of the proxy name. This has been fixed in the 7.2 version, and should be available for 7.1 shortly. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 54740 ***
