Right. And every 120 minutes since about noon on 2/10 rhnsd has been
putting another packet of error messages into the log.

Ok, done. It restarted successfully. I guess I'm going to have to
wait until the next sceduled check-in to see what the log says.
I'll let you know.

Thanks.

Depends on what the update actually is.  RHN still doesn't play nice

Your machine periodically checks in with their servers, unless you
tell
it not to.  Default checkin time is 120 minutes.

As root, try:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/rhnsd restart

If that doesn't work, well, I'll keep digging around.
