Hi,

1) the connection to RHN is done via yum-rhn-plugin (and not via a 
special entry in yum.repos.d - this is only used for debuginfo RPMs), so 
make sure you have that package installed.

2) make sure that "plugins=12 in /etc/yum.conf

3) check that in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf you have

[main]
enabled = 1
gpgcheck = 1

Then the next run of "yum update" should show something like 'Loading 
"rhnplugin" plugin' and everything should be fine. If not, past the 
output of "yum update" here so we can look into that further.

Michael.
