Problems registering with RHN

[Aric Lambert]

To Whom It May Concern:





I have just installed Linux on my system for the first time. I am running
Red Hat Linux/x86 9 (Shrike). When I try to update using the up2date program
I never am able to update. I have no problem using the web and I have
broadband. The following things have occurred.



1) The privacy statement is never visible regardless of how long I
wait. I am assuming this statement is downloaded from RH.

2) I am always getting an error message saying it had problems with my
user name. I have used many different kinds of user names.



Thanks for your help

Hmm. I assume you *bought* and *registered* a copy, rather than using
the free download? In any case, check out the tool at [url]www.autorpm.org[/url],
which I find more flexible and usable.

You need to download some updates manually and install them as Red Hat has
expired the older;
