rhn_register is a client program that registers your system with Red Hat Network (or a Red Hat Network Satellite). After registering, your system can recieve software updates, install new software, and remotely manage your system. It can run both in graphical

<p class="MsoNormal">I have a base install. We don’t have a Satellite server ready for production yet. A co-worker wanted to test the registration to the satellite and then they “would force a RHN” registration. That was Friday. Now it is Monday and I can’t
seem to run any commands on the server to allow it to register with the RedHat Network.

<p class="MsoNormal">rhn_register --nox does not allow me to change the server. A manual I have says to run rhn_register --nox –configure, but of course –-configure is not a real option. I suppose I could move the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date out of the way
and see what happens but I am curious, what is the correct way to change this setting?<o:p></o:p></p>
