It appears HTTP access (e.g. with "useNoSSLForPackages=1" set in
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date) is broken.  With that set, a "yum list
updates" returns:

Error: failed to retrieve repodata/eb9c556bbfb5deb6368eaa43b9b68af3a8d806dc-primary.xml.gz from rhel-x86_64-server-5
error was [Errno 14] HTTP Error 503: Service Unavailable

I would suggest the status page be outside any login; ideally, it would
be separate as much as practical from other Red Hat sites (maybe
"status.redhat.com"?).

Thanks for your response here about RHN issues.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
