That being said, it's not doing anything anyway because the first thing /etc/init.d/rhnsd does is: # Sanity checks. [ -x /usr/sbin/rhnsd ] || exit 0 [ -f /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid ] || exit 0 Which means it exits if you don't have a systemid (which you would only have if you upgraded from a previous RH version, or accidently tried to hook up to RHN). -- William Hooper
