It is weird that the value is empty. There should be: 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://%(hostname)s/help/contact.pxt to contact technical support if you think you have received this message in error. Anyway, in fact this is just abuse reject from RHN. Most probably caused by too often run of rhn_check. Is it possible that you have it in crontab with low interval (few minutes)? Are you registred to rhn.redhat.com or to RHN Satellite?
Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
