[rhn-users] Problems with RHN repository in RHEL Desktop v.5 x86_86

[Bruno Martins]

Good morning Cliff,

This bug is already reported in Bugzilla. It even has duplicated
entries of the same bug.
The question here is that there four or five solutions for the same
problem, so you must try both of them. This was the only solution that
actually worked well with me.

Kind regards,

Bruno Martins
