I don't like this command, can you please run "rhn_check -vv" at the client?

When I register client using IP address I'm getting folowing errors 
during rhn_check:

# rhn_check -vv
...
D: local action status: ((6,), 'Fatal error in Python code occured', {})
D: rpcServer: Calling XMLRPC registration.welcome_message

# tail -f /var/log/update
...

As you can read from the log yum-rhn-plugin is not able to retrieve 
repository metada, when I use IP address to access SW server.
Is that your case?
If so, just use hostname that's in your SW server certificate. Or you 
can disable SSL for clients (not recommended, not tested).
