Donncha,
I saw the same posting, but that's not the problem. I got a little
further. I removed rhn_register and all depended packages from the
system and dl 2.7.2-7.x.8. After installing this, the new client
allowed me to configure the proxy and auth., which in turn allowed me
to register.
The problem I have now is that I had to uninstall up2date as well and
dl the new packages. When I try to install them, they complain about
requiring up2datepoptmodule.so.
I can't find any help or reference to this module. Where do I get this?
Cheers,
Marcus
