6.2. Starting the Red Hat Network Registration Client
You must be root to register a system with RHN. If you start the
Red Hat Network Registration
Client
as a standard user, you will be prompted to enter the root password before proceeding. To start
the
Red Hat Network Registration Client
, use one of the following methods:
1. On the GNOME desktop, go to the
Main Menu Button
(on the Panel) =>
Programs
=>
System
=>
Red Hat Network
2. On the KDE desktop, go to the
Main Menu Button
(on the Panel) =>
System
=>
Red Hat
Network
3. Type the command
rhn_register
at a shell prompt (for example an
XTerm
or
GNOME
terminal
)
4. If you are not running the X Window System, type the command
rhn_register
at a virtual
console or remote terminal. Refer to Section 6.7
Text Mode RHN Registration Client
for further
details.
Caution
You must use
Python 1.5.2-24
or later with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support. If not, the infor-
mation you transfer will not be encrypted. If you have an earlier version of Python, you will see the
message shown in Figure 6-2. To determine the version of Python on your system, use the command
rpm -q python
. It is strongly recommended you use
Python 1.5.2-24
or later.
Figure 6-2. Use Python 1.5.2-24 or later
If you have already registered your system and try to register it again, the dialog box shown in
Figure 6-3 will appear. If you continue, it will overwrite your existing Digital Certificate 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
.
If you overwrite an existing system registration, you can delete the unused profile via the website at
https://rhn.redhat.com.
