Hello,

I think rhnsd.c is merely checking for the existence of the systemid 
file, and then it calls rhn_check, which re-parses it out and uses it. 
(man rhn_check, man up2date)

It's possible, though, that there's something wrong with the regex; if 
there were it would still prevent rhnsd from working properly.  What are 
the contents of your /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date file?  Specifically the 
systemIdPath line.

Hope to help,

Josh
