I have just installed the .iso version of Red Hat 9 on my system.  I am
trying to update the install version by the RHN.  However there seems to be
a problem connecting to the server.  I have been to the site and joined up
as a member. On running up2date everything runs fine except the privacy
statement never appears and the little hour-glass mouse-pointer to "flip"
indicating the last task isn't complete.  The program successfully collects
a list of files to be searched then when one clicks to send this list an
error box appears saying "Problem registering username".  I ran up2date
through the terminal and it indicated the following error message: SSL.
Error: [('SSL routines', 'SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE', 'certificate verify
failed')]

I thought a change of servers might be worth a try but "up2date --configure"
only showed on server to choose:  http://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/ XMLPPC

If anyone has any ideas I sure would appreciate it.  I have downloaded a
couple of rpm's for installation but both failed because of dependencies.

Thanks in advance.

Chris.

I had the same problem.  Here is Boris Glawe's reply...it worked wonders.

redhat has updated it's expired public keys, which are used for encrypted
transfer of all data during the usage of rhn.

Download the recent version of up2date here or on any other redhat mirror:
ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub.../>
en/os/i386/


install the files with

rpm -U up2date*.rpm

after having downloaded the two files
up2date-3.1.23.1-5.i386.rpm
up2date-gnome-3.1.23.1-5.i386.rpm.

P.S. If you get familiar with the rpm commandline (there are about 10 Option
s,
you will have to learn), you will not need the rhn-service, since you can
download the update from any mirror file and install them by hand. That's
usually even faster and can be done in the background. You can even specify 
the
file's URL:
rpm -U
ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub...23.1-5.i386.rpm
will upgrade the package without storing the file on your disk...

Just put them both together:

rpm -Uvh package1.rpm package2.rpm

This will autoresolve the dependencies between the packages to upgrade.
[And --force is not the correct parameter to bypass dependencies but --
nodeps is.]

Thank you guys.  I finally got it figured out and RHN is now working fine.
