The rhn-applet works fine for me. Even though the Server-URL configured
in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn-applet points to an RHN-Server, Fedora systems
seem to be checking against the default yum-repository configured
in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources:
yum fedora-core-1 http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1
yum updates-released http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-1
I've had the same problem after i commented out those lines (i'm using a private
apt-repo. So i normally wouldn't need the default yum-repo). After i commented
them in again, the Notification-Applet was working as expected again.
Afaik it's not even possible to subscribe to RHN with a fedora-system.
