[rhn-users] registering a system

[Margaret Doll]

When I try rhnreg_ks, I get the error

rhnreg_ks --username=<name> --password=<passwd>

		where I substituted my RedHat account name and password in the line 
above.

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks", line 326, in ?
     main()
   File "/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks", line 281, in main
     hardwareList = hardware.Hardware()
   File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/hardware.py", line 520, in 
Hardware
     ret = read_network()
   File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/hardware.py", line 348, in 
read_network
     hostname, ipaddr = findHostByRoute()
   File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/hardware.py", line 320, in 
findHostByRoute
     (server, port) = string.split(server_port, ':')
   File "/usr/lib/python2.2/string.py", line 122, in split
     return s.split(sep, maxsplit)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'
