I'm running RH9 on one machine and RH7.3 on another,  and other than having to doing the 'service rhnsd restart/ on one of them that has been off for a time I haven't had any problems. The Entitlements, up2date and RHN access are working normally. 

I'm glad to see where RH has extended RH9 because my major problem currently is finding RAID hardware and drivers for RH3/ES. Adaptec and Promise both say they're "working on" them and have been saying that for months and months, although I understand there are "unofficial" drivers for Adaptec 24xx floading around somewhere.

| Hi Graham,
| 
| I've got the exact same problem, I bought RHEL3-ES for $ 350,- and am no
| longer able to login using my RHN account. I've already contacted
| customer support nearly 2 days ago but they haven't responded yet.
| Should I get any info as to what's going on I'll let you know.
| 
| This is quite frustrating as the server was supposed to be up and
| running 5 days ago...
| 
| Regards
| 
| Robert

| Hi all,
| 
| I've just had one of my machines lose one of it's entitlements - it was

| Am trying to patch a WS3 x86_64 machine after a vanilla load from our 
| kickstart load.  Here is what I'm getting:
| 
| # rpm -Uvh samba-3.0.2-6.3E.x86_64.rpm 
| samba-client-3.0.2-6.3E.x86_64.rpm  samba-common-3.0.2-6.3E.x86_64.rpm
| error: Failed dependencies:
|          samba-common = 3.0.0 is needed by (installed) samba-3.0.0-14.3E
| 
| # rpm -qa |grep samba
| samba-common-3.0.0-14.3E
| redhat-config-samba-1.0.16-1
| samba-3.0.0-14.3E
| samba-client-3.0.0-14.3E
| 
| After the kickstart load I had two samba-3.0.0-14.3E packages showing up 
| in a rpm -qa output, so I rebuild the RPM database to get the "correct" 
| output as shown in the rpm -qa above.  I'm not sure if that is the root

| If the db was messed up, I'd try doing an rpm -V on the samba packages

|
