Overview

In this example, my server is already registered to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5 (5Server) i386 channel in mrepo. I used the following command to subscribe the register the system using mrepo. 

# gensystemid -u RHN_user -p RHN_password --release=5Server --arch=i386 /mrepo/5Server-i386/
