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

[Evert Meulie]

I contacted them via their Web support. Logged the case there...    

Anyway... Since their reply doesn't say anything about me not being allowed
to share its information:

***************************************************************************
There is a current bug with registration un AS2.1 that are behind a proxy.

On the machine that show the problem, try to use the following rhn_register
rpm:

http://people.redhat.com/bnocera/rhn_register/

Note that those rpm are not yet officially released, but they appeared to
have solved this particular problem on some of our customer's machine.

Enjoy!  ;)

Hello,

I have the very similar problem pn a box that uses no proxy, firewall and so
on. It is directly connected to the net and with default rhn_register
settings the command rhn_register gives these errors after I try to sign in:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/sbin/rhn_register", line 233, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/rhn_register", line 214, in main
    tui.main()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/register/tui.py", line 1042, in main
    tui.run()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/register/tui.py", line 986, in run
    win = self.windows[index](self.screen, self)
  File "/usr/share/rhn/register/tui.py", line 567, in __init__
    tui.hardware = hardware.Hardware()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/register/hardware.py", line 374, in Hardware
    ret = read_network()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/register/hardware.py", line 296, in read_network
    hostname, ipaddr = findHostByRoute()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/register/hardware.py", line 276, in findHostByRoute
    hostname = socket.gethostbyaddr(intf)[0]
socket.error: host not found


I logged into the redhat site with our enterprise customer id and password,
yet I found no solution within the site expect for the regular ssl related
up2date upgrades. When you say "help from Redhat" do you mean you contacted
them by mail or some and got help directly? Or did you use some part of the
customer site I could not find?

Thanks in advance.

Have a nice day.
