THAT was neat, daddy, can we do it again?  :)

Some day I'll figure out what just scrolled over my screen. In the interim, shere's a bit of it. Looks like it's making the connection, though the "No client certificate CA names sent" makes me wonder.

In other news I can run rhn_check manually and it's getting stuff now. However, I want to make it work properly.

I'm off to work in a bit, if you have some more ideas lemme know and I'll try them either after work or before I go on tomorrow.

ciao!
