...or you can try reregistering.  I was getting constant errors (tried
constantly with a 60 second sleep) for almost three days.  I
reregistered and my boxes connect just fine after hours.

up2date --register

and answer all the questions.  Then go into your rhn account and you'll
have two entries, one with a demo entitlement and one with no
entitlement.  Delete the demo entitlement and edit the system properties
of the unentitled account to have demo entitlement.  If that's your
problem, you should be able to get connected again.
