From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507 Description of problem: i tried to use the update tool (Red Hat Network Alert Notification Tool 2.0.9) to see what updating the kernel was like with your tools. i am running redhat 9, kernel 2.4.20-8 the registration process failed to notice that there was already a user/password combo the same as the one i put in for my new account. now my computer is stuck with this account that is someone else's, and i can't figure out how to change the account my computer automatically associates with itself on RHN. and if the guy had spent any money on updates, i could be using them... not so cool. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.make account on RHN 2.install redhat 9 on some computer 3.hit big red update button, choose 'new account', put info from existing account (step 1. or just lucky) in new account prompts. Actual Results: things seemed normal until i tried to do a test update. then the update agent (up2date?) said i didn't have entitlement. (error 31) Additional info:
What is the user name that you used?
Closing this NOTABUG, and will create a feature request for more clarity between the "create new" and "add to existing" code paths.
