Note
If you are already a member of redhat.com, you can use the same user name and password. How-
ever, you will still need to continue with the registration process to create your System Profile.
Your user name and password have the following restrictions:
•
Must be at least four characters long
•
Are case-insentitive
•
Can not contain any spaces
•
Can not contain any tabs
•
Can not contain any line feeds

If you have already registered your system and try to register it again, the dialog box shown
in Figure 2-5 will appear. If you continue, it will overwrite your existing
systemid
file
(
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid
) and you will create a different System Profile. You will
no longer be able to use your previous System Profile — be sure this is what you want to do
before you choose Yes .
Figure 2-5. Warning: This System Already Registered
If you have already registered a machine and created a System Profile, you can add a new
machine to your account. Run the Red Hat Network Registration Client on the new ma-
chine you wish to add and enter your existing Red Hat Network user name and password.
The new machine will be added to your existing account, and you can log into Red Hat
Network with your user name and password to view all your systems simultaneously.
