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.

Description Karel Volný 2011-10-18 13:34:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
If the system is banned, "rhn-check -l" throws traceback. I guess this could be handled more gracefully ...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhn-setup-1.0.0-39.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
(haven't tried, the ban ended)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. do something (?) nasty to get the system banned
2. rhn-channel -l
  
Actual results:
.qa.[root@ppcp-6s-0z-v1 tps]# rhn-channel -l
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/rhn-channel", line 98, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/rhn-channel", line 86, in main
    channels = map(lambda x: x['label'], getChannels().channels())
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhnChannel.py", line 99, in getChannels
    up2dateChannels = s.up2date.listChannels(up2dateAuth.getSystemId())
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhnserver.py", line 52, in __call__
    raise self.__exception_from_fault(f)
up2date_client.up2dateErrors.AbuseError: 
Error Message:
    Abuse of Service detected for server ppcp-6s-0z-v1.ss.eng.bos.redhat.com (1016580813)
Error Class Code: 49
Error Class Info: 
     You are getting this error because RHN has detected an abuse of
     service from this system and account. This error is triggered when
     your system makes too many connections to Red Hat Network. This
     error can not be triggered under a normal use of the Red Hat Network
     service as configured by default on Red Hat Linux.

     The Red Hat Network services for this system will remain disabled
     until you will reduce the RHN network traffic from your system to
     acceptable limits.

     Please log into RHN and visit https://rhn.redhat.com/help/contact.pxt
     to contact technical support if you think you have received this
     message in error.



Expected results:
(the same error messages without the traceback at the beginning)
