# grep systemIdPath /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
systemIdPath[comment]=Location of system id
systemIdPath=/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid

I went ahead and did an ltrace of my rhnsd.  Notice the regcomp() but no 
regexec():

time(NULL)                                            = 1264176426
time(NULL)                                            = 1264176426
memset(0x7fff730f08a0, '\000', 512)                   = 0x7fff730f08a0
access("/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date", 4)               = 0
regcomp(0x7fff730f0430, 0x402638, 1, 0x402400, 0)     = 0
fopen("/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date", "r")              = 0xef22070
fgets("", 1930364064, 0xef22150)                      = 0x7fff730f04a0
__strncpy_chk(0x7fff730f08a0, 0x7fffe61e0940, 0, 512, 0x6e6f637379732f63) = 0x7fff730f08a0
access("", 4)                                         = -1
__syslog_chk(7, 1, 0x402610, 0x7fff730f08a0, 0x7fff730f089f) = 0
time(NULL)                                            = 1264176426
time(NULL)                                            = 1264176426
time(NULL)                                            = 1264176426

time(NULL)                                            = 1264176426
sleep(3600)                                           = 0
