Fixed In Version: rhn-client-tools-0.4.20-48.el5
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The file /usr/share/application/rhn_register.desktop was missing in the previous version of the rhn-setup-gnome package. Therefore, there was a menu item missing in the graphical user interface of the rhn_register utility. This problem has been fixed: the file is now included and the utility works as expected.
