Message-ID: <5DF13E666FA23B4186918239C7520646CF586A@descartes.lindahall.local> Hi all, I've been using the RHN notification service for several years now, and I love it. I get an email notification about errata every week, sometimes more frequently than that. This allows me to keep my two RHEL4 servers up to date. So this morning, when I found that I haven't received any email from RHN for over two weeks, I was a little concerned. I checked my spam quarantine, but there's nothing from RH in there. I verified that I can email myself from outside, so there don't appear to be any problems with that account. I do have two security errata waiting to be installed on my servers (one from the 11th and one from the 16th), so I am pretty sure I should've seen a notification. Has anyone else noticed this lack of communication?

This feature of RHN hosted has not been working for the past few months. You may have noticed the delunge of emails a few weeks back when RHN emails finally came for RedHat 4.7 and 5.2 . Since then, they have been silent for me as well. My hope is that the outage scheduled for next week will fix this and other bugs related to scheduling and processing of errata. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=454053 daryl From stephann at lindahall.org Fri Sep 19 17:00:12 2008 From: stephann at lindahall.org (Natasha Stephan) Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2008 12:00:12 -0500 Subject: [rhn-users] notifications from RHN?

I wasn't sure what you mean by "RHN hosted", so I looked on the RH site and found this chart: https://www.redhat.com/rhn/compare/ Can I assume that we don't have Satellite architecture because we don't have Management module entitlements? We only have Update module entitlements. If that is the case, and we are connected to RHN hosted, it's interesting that we we've seen errata messages as recently as the 2nd of September... just nothing since then. Maybe that was part of the "deluge of emails a few weeks back" which you mentioned. Well, this sucks. Why did/do we pay for RHN subscriptions if we're not going to receive the emails? To me that's the main benefit...
