Uninstall Redhat Network Components - Continued

[Andrew.Bridgeman at corusgroup.com]

Thanks for the replies. From what i can tell they just do not want to you
to contact the RHN from each of the machines. My machines are not currently
configured to contact the RHN site or to use the  up2date feature so i
assume i can leave the machines how they are currently without being
illegal? Is this correct?

Regards

My understanding is different.  Of course Red Hat wants you to pay them to
renew.  If you choose not to renew, you do not have the right to the Red
Hat provided/certified binary updates.  There is no reason for you to
remove RHEL from your machine.  Your machine will become increasingly out
of date, but you are still allowed to use it.  If they want you to remove
their "update software" I assume what they really mean is up2date and its
related programs.  I would think that all you would really need to do is
turn off rhnsd so it stops checking in the RHN.
