	      does not exist otherwise.

       /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
	      The common configuration file used by RHN client programs.

EXAMPLES

	      rhnreg_ks --profilename "example_profile_name" --username "someexampleuser" --password "foobar"

       Register a new system to Red Hat Network Classic with contact info:

	      rhnreg_ks --profilename "example_profile_name" --username "someexampleuser" --password "foobar" --contactinfo < contactinfo

	      where the file "contactinfo" contains data in the format:
