[rhn-users] Determining whether RHEL4 is registered?

The file name is /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid
The XML attribute is system_id


If the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid file exists then there is/was a 
system registered with that system_id.  As I said, we had several 
servers that were registered multiple times.  We also had several 
systems that were cloned from an installed system, so they all shared 
one system_id.  When we found these, we simply re-registered the systems 
so they each had a unique system_id.
