The network is working fine. I can ping www.cisco.com. I was able to
telnet
into port 443 on xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com
I reset my hostname to name.subnet.subnet.subnet.
rhnreg_ks -username=user password=passwd comes back with a list of
options
Error parsing command list arguments: option -u not recognized
Usage: rhnreg_ks [options]
...
up2date -p
You need to register this system by running `up2date --register` before
using this option
When I run "up2date --register" or rhn_register, I get the following
errors in the background:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 1186, in ?
sys.exit(main() or 0)
