[rhn-users] problems with rhn_register... but only insomecases...

[Evert Meulie]

The problem is fixed with help from Redhat. There seems to be a known
problem with rhn_register & RHEL2.1 with http proxy. They've supplied me
with an updated version of rhn_register that worked.

I've used tethereal to get an insight on the process, but as far as I know
how to interpret the results I can't see anything wrong there either... VERY
annoying...    :-/

Hmmm... yes, it seems odd.

In situations like this, I usually reach for tcpdump and get it
narrowed-down enough to just see the packets for the RHN access attempt.
Watching it at various points eventually reveals to me where the packets are
actually being dropped or bounced, which can help track down the cause a
lot. It's very often some obscure routing problem.

Also quite often, I notice that it's actually traffic not being routed
_back_ to the host in question, rather than an outbound blockage. But, I am
using NAT and direct routing and never any proxying so again YMMV.

Hope it helps!
