I confirm that we face the same problem with various servers and we
attribute this to RHN capacity issues. We had some luck if we delete the
/var/spool/up2date/loginAuth.pkl in some of our boxes. For others we
have not managed.
Does anyone know if there is a redhat bugzilla report for this? This
might raise the status of the issue. If I do not find one, I shall raise
one.
