Whilst trying ( and failing ) to configure my RHEL VM to use my company's internal RHN mirror, I was running the following command: -
wget -qO- https://hostname.domain.com/pub/bootstrap/bootstrap-rtp.sh | /bin/bash
Now you can see the obvious flaw, right ??
Yes, you guessed it - I'd copied the command verbatim from a website, and included the three leading spaces, which meant that the command did absolutely nowt.
Therefore, the follow-up command: -
rhnreg_ks --force --username=username --password=password
defaulted to the original settings, and went off to the Red Hat site rather than my company's mirror.
I'd run this many, many times before I realised. Do I feel silly ?
Doh!
