Description of problem: In the sentence, "... is attempting to re-register using Red Hat Subscription Management...", the term "re-register" is technically incorrect. Instead we are over-registering, or registering redundantly using a second technology. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@jsefler-6 ~]# rpm -q subscription-managersubscription-manager-1.1.9-1.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: [root@jsefler-6 ~]# touch /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid [root@jsefler-6 ~]# [root@jsefler-6 ~]# subscription-manager register --username testuser1 --password password --org admin WARNING This system has already been registered with Red Hat using RHN Classic. The tool you are using is attempting to re-register using Red Hat Subscription Management technology. Red Hat recommends that customers only register once. To learn how to unregister from either service please consult this Knowledge Base Article: https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-45563 The system has been registered with id: f4945312-8797-4923-837f-ff073a2efca9 Deferring to mreid how to update this string for "re-register" to "over-register" or "register redundantly" or leave it alone.
Any thoughts on swapping out the second section "The tool you are using is attempting to re-register using Red Hat Subscription Management technology. Red Hat recommends that customers only register once." with: "Your system is being registered again using Red Hat Subscription Management. Red Hat recommends that customers only register once." so it would be: # subscription-manager register --username testuser1 --password password --org admin WARNING This system has already been registered with Red Hat using RHN Classic. Your system is being registered again using Red Hat Subscription Management. Red Hat recommends that customers only register once.

Worse? Indifferent?
