[rhn-users] Need some help

[dba]

John,

I had problems also.
I don't know how the connection is made. What I do know is the fact that
I am registered at RHs.
Can you just try and log in at the RH network via the browser,
http://www.redhat.com/software/rhn/ ?

I just don't think Telnet is the way Red Hat connects to your system.

Grtz,

Roel

Subject: [rhn-users] Need some help

After two months of trying to download and install updates using the
RedHat network, I am about ready to wipe out Linux and install Windows
XP.  Could someone please answer this quesiton.

There are 370 packages that need to be downloaded and installed on my
Enterprise v3 Intel EMT64T system.

I have managed to schedule several of the packages for download but they
never arrive and they are never installed. What does the "scheduling" of
a download mean? When will the packages be installed?

When I log into the RHN, the Errata tab appears. So I presume that my
system is registered and I am entitled to downloads.

The RHN System Summary fior my system says that
   Total Systems = 1
   Out of date systems = 1
   Inactive system = 1

My system is apparently not "checking in" to the RedHat network. To find
out, I followed the procedure in FAQ#15. I executed this command,

     telnet xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com 443 

The response that I got was 
 
     Connection closed by foreign host. <<=====

What does this mean? What should I do about it?

John Wirt
