[rhn-users] up2date A socket error occurred: (110, 'Connection timed out')

["Robert L Sowders" <rsowders usgs gov>]

Hello,

While trying to recover a scrambled system I inadvertantly restored 
another systems configuration over the top of mine.  Now up2date agent 
will not connect to the server I keep getting the above time outs.  I 
suspect the /etc/sysconfig/systemid file is bad.  I tried putting the 
correct server name back in the file but that was a no go.

Is there a way to completely reinstall the up2date system without 
reinstalling the operating system?  I already tried to reinstall the rpm's 
for rhn-applet, up2date, and up2date-gnome.

anyone?
