<div><span> During the %post install section of our install we run
rhnreg_ks with the appropriate options to register the system with RHN
however when systems are rebuilt, which happens quite often, a new
registration gets created (with the same profile name - the machine's
hostname - but a different ID). </span></div>

<div><span> Since it's not practical for us to manually delete old

old system ID)? </span></div>

The easiest way is to create a tar file of /etc/sysconfig/rhn and
extraxt this file after your system is rebuild.<br>
