Description of problem: rhnsd outputs (to STDOUT with the -f option, or to /var/log/messages when run as service) the interval as "seconds", but should print as "minutes". The man page states that the interval is in minutes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhnsd-4.5.16-1.el5 Contents of /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd: INTERVAL=60 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. service rhnsd start 2. grep rhnsd /var/log/messages Actual results: Jan 12 09:15:29 dlcompile32 rhnsd: Red Hat Network Services Daemon running with check_in interval set to 60 seconds. Jan 12 09:15:29 dlcompile32 rhnsd: Red Hat Network Services Daemon running with check_in interval set to 60 seconds. Jan 12 09:15:29 dlcompile32 rhnsd[3169]: Red Hat Network Services Daemon starting up. Expected results: Jan 12 09:15:29 dlcompile32 rhnsd: Red Hat Network Services Daemon running with check_in interval set to 60 minutes. Jan 12 09:15:29 dlcompile32 rhnsd: Red Hat Network Services Daemon running with check_in interval set to 60 minutes.

[coec@sw client]$ rpm -q rhnsd rhnsd-4.7.0-5.el5 /var/log/messages: Aug 31 08:45:36 sw rhnsd[15882]: Red Hat Network Services Daemon starting up. I think this can be marked as resolved as the message has been changed. CC
I can confirm that it's working now: $ rpm -q rhnsd rhnsd-4.9.3-1.el5 $ sudo grep rhnsd /var/log/messages Aug 31 07:45:19 sw rhnsd[5262]: Red Hat Network Services Daemon starting up, check in interval 60 minutes. Thanks, Jeremy
