Hi, I have an interesting dilemma regarding registration with up2date in RHEL4. I have a yum (yum-arch) repo I want to use under RHEL4 with up2date. However, if a system is not registered, I need to comment out the following line: up2date default in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources I need to do this in an automated way via a rpm I install on the target system. Is there some way I can determine the registration state? Perhaps there's a utility or tell-tale file I can consult to do this? The best I could do is run the following command: up2date --showall If the system is not registered then a message to that effect is printed and the exit code is non-zero. However, I'm not sure what happens with a registered system when the network is down. Maybe I should ask this question on the Red Hat System Administrators' list, but I thought I would give this list a try first. Regards, Timothy
