From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030318 Description of problem: - Run up2date on a brand new system. - Select "existing user", and provide username and password. - Move through wizard steps, until up2date tries to connect to rhn for the first time. - A popup window appears saying "problem with username". - Sit back and wonder why on earth the lazy-ass programmer didn't mention WHAT problem with the username. - The account used has no free entitlements, which I assume is the problem, but this should not prevent the registration procedure from completing, or from at least a proper PARAGRAPH of explanatory text appearing saying exactly what is wrong. - Did I mention that "problem with username" is one of the most STOOOPID error messages I ever saw? (not as bad as "operation failed: success", but close). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.1.23-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: xxx Additional info:
fixed in 3.1.24
tested it and now it gives a much better description. error Message: Username 'sdfasdfas' has not been reserved Error class code: 1 error class info: this does not appear to be a valid username.
