RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Due to an error in rhnplugin, running the "yum repolist" command may have incorrectly reported previously cached channels as available. This update adapts rhnplugin to use the list of cached channels only when the user explicitly requests it (for example, by using the "--cacheonly" command line option).

Description Jan Hutař 2011-04-21 06:46:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
When I remove /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid file, `yum repolist` still shows RHN channels as available.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Distro is: RHEL6.1-20110413.1
  yum-3.2.29-15.el6.noarch
  yum-rhn-plugin-0.9.1-25.el6.noarch
  rhn-client-tools-1.0.0-60.el6.noarch


How reproducible:
reproducible on 1 of 1 system I have tried


Steps to Reproduce:
1. # rhnreg_ks --username=qa --password=redhatqa
2. # yum repolist | grep rhel
rhel-ppc64-server-6       Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6 for IBM 4,173
3. # rm -f /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid
4. # yum repolist | grep rhel
This system may not be a registered to RHN. SystemId could not be acquired.
RHN Satellite or RHN Classic support will be disabled.
rhel-ppc64-server-6       Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6 for IBM 4,173
5. # rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*
6. # yum repolist | grep rhel
This system may not be a registered to RHN. SystemId could not be acquired.
RHN Satellite or RHN Classic support will be disabled.


Actual results:
Repo is still shown as available


Expected results:
When rhnplugin gets de-activated by systemid file removal, repo should not be shown as available by yum.
