Error Class Info:
     You are getting this error because RHN has detected an abuse of
     service from this system and account. This error is triggered when
     your system makes too many connections to Red Hat Network. This
     error can not be triggered under a normal use of the Red Hat
Network
     service as configured by default on Red Hat Linux.
 
     The Red Hat Network services for this system will remain disabled
     until you will reduce the RHN network traffic from your system to
     acceptable limits.
 
     Please log into RHN and visit

     to contact technical support if you think you have received this
     message in error.
