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

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

Thanks,

I deleted the old account, then ran up2date --register.  The program hangs 
while it goes thru the 5 timeouts, here's what I see in the up2date log. I 
have scads of entitlements available.  My other systems have no problems. 
I'm about to the point of just scratching the OS and rebuilding.  My hair 
is getting thin over this.  Nothing seems to help.

Your help is appreciated.

Hi Robert, 

You should be able to make it happy again with:

up2date --register 

That should create a new systemid. Re-registering a system to the
existing systemid isn't supported yet. 

You might want to delete the old profile first if you have limited
entitlements.
