Marcus,

I used url=nu.novell.com in my version of the file, but the YaST2 module
complained that it can't connect there. I changed it to
secure-www.novell.com, YaST was content with it, but now the error
changed. Now I get "Error: Configuration doesn't allow to connect to
https://secure-www.novell.com".

So it might be best to uninstall and reinstall the suseRegister package.
I did the "rpm -e suseRegister-1.4-1.9.1 --nodeps" and "zypper in
suseRegister" - and it's the same URL as before,
<https://secure-www.novell.com/center/regsvc/>. Nice. So it should be
the line "smturlmodified = true" that offends suse_register. But it is
not. With the freshly installed /etc/suseRegister.conf, smt-agent still
tells me
"Error: Configuration doesn't allow to connect to
https://secure-www.novell.com".

I just found out that I had to uninstall the smt-client package (in
<http://forums.novell.com/novell-product-support-forums/suse-linux-enterprise-server-sles/sles-updates/394564-smt-agent-error.html>).
As a side effect, /usr/sbin/smt-agent is gone now, so the error won't
occur again...

Let's see what happens. But not today, It's gonna be a snowy weekend now ;-)

Regards,
Werner
