Chapter 6. Red Hat Network Website
6.4.2.5. Inactive
The Inactive page displays the systems that have not checked into RHN for 24 hours or
more. When the Red Hat Update Agent connects to RHN to see if there are any updates
available or if any actions have been scheduled, this is considered a checkin. If you are
seeing a message indicating checkins are not taking place, the RHN client on your system
is not successfully reaching Red Hat Network for some reason. This indicates:
The system is not entitled to any RHN service. System Profiles that remain unentitled
•
for 180 days (6 months) are removed.
The system is entitled, but the Red Hat Network Daemon has been disabled on the
•
system. Refer to Chapter 3 Red Hat Network Daemon for instructions on restarting and
troubleshooting.
The system is behind a firewall that does not allow connections over https (port 443).
•
The system is behind an HTTP proxy server that has not been properly configured.
•
The system is connected to an RHN Proxy Server or RHN Satellite Server that has not
•
been properly configured.
The system itself has not been properly configured, perhaps pointing at the wrong RHN

The system is not on the network.
•
Some other barrier exists between the system and the RHN Servers.
