[rhn-users] notifications from RHN?

[Natasha Stephan]

Hi Daryl,
Thanks for your reply!

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...

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.
