[ale] [Fwd: RHN Warning: Inactive Servers WILL BE DELETED]

[Chris Fowler]

This sux.  What if I do not want to run that daemon on my machines.  The
two profiles they are refering too are chroot einvironments and do not
exist on a computer by themselves.  

I never run that daemon.  I do not want updates applied to my system
that I do not apply myself.  Nor do I need this thing communicating
outside.

Hello Red Hat Network Subscriber,

This is an automatically generated mail from the Red Hat Network Alert
System. You are receiving this message because RHN has detected that
you have one or more inactive servers subscribed to your account.

RHN has flagged your inactive system profiles for deletion and will
remove these profiles from your account in the next 15 days unless
you act first.

A system profile becomes inactive if the system fails to check in
regularly with RHN for software updates. Possible causes of having a
system profile flagged inactive are:

- You have re-registered your system and forgot to delete the old
  system profile from your account;
- The system is not entitled to any RHN service. System profiles that
  remain unentitled for 180 days  are removed;
- The system is entitled, but the Red Hat Network Service Daemon
  (rhnsd) has been disabled on the system itself and you have not run
  up2date on that system in more than 180 days;
- The system is behind a firewall that does not allow connections over
  https (port 443);
- The system is behind a proxy that has not been properly configured;
- Some other barrier exists between the system and the RHN servers.

You can avoid deletion of the inactive server profiles by enabling the
RHN service on the machines affected or by making sure that rhnsd runs
and is capable of connecting to RHN. Alternatively, you can just run
up2date on the system and apply the pending errata - this action will
also remove the deletion tag placed on your server.

The following is a list of inactive servers provided for your
convenience:

System ID      System Name       OS    Arch           Last seen
