[rhn-users] rhn_check hanging

[Gordon Chung]

Hi,

I've recently installed RHEL AS v4 Update 2 onto a Dell PowerEdge 4400.
Registered with RHN okay and scheduled errata updates. When I run
/usr/sbin/rhn_check it hangs until I go and kill the process.

/var/log/up2date shows -

[Wed Feb 15 15:43:12 2006] up2date updating login info
[Wed Feb 15 15:43:12 2006] up2date logging into up2date server
[Wed Feb 15 15:43:13 2006] up2date successfully retrieved authentication token f
rom up2date server
[Wed Feb 15 15:43:13 2006] up2date availablePackageList from network
[Wed Feb 15 15:43:13 2006] up2date Unable to import repomd support so repomd sup
port will not be available

I have seen this last line in the log before ( Unable to import ...) on my
other machines, but it has not stopped them from updating errata, so I don't
think it has anything to do with rhn_check hanging. I could be wrong.

Anybody else encountered this and found a solution?

Thanks
Gordon
