Description Paul Wayper 2010-04-16 01:40:28 UTC
Description of problem:

In section 2.2.1 ("Registering with Activation Keys"), the two commands given have mistakes in them.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

5.3.0

Diffs of the two commands are:

- rpm -Uvh\ http://your-satellite.com/pub/rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
+ rpm -Uvh http://your-satellite-FQDN/pub/rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

(remove backslash, change host name to be consistent).

- wget -0 - http://your-satellite-DQDN/pub/bootstrap.sh | bash \ && rhnreg_ks --activation-key my_key --serverUrl \ https://your-satellite-FQDN/XMLRPC
+ wget -O - http://your-satellite-FQDN/pub/bootstrap.sh | bash && rhnreg_ks --activation-key my_key --serverUrl https://your-satellite-FQDN/XMLRPC


(change zero to upper case o, change DQDN to FQDN, remove backslashes).

The backslashes make sense when they are included in a command listing because they would normally indicate that a line break should be ignored; in the documentation these are not needed as one can copy and paste the command as a single line.
