Uninstall Redhat Network Components - Continued

Thanks for the replies. From what i can tell they just do
not want to you
to contact the RHN from each of the machines. My machines
are not currently
configured to contact the RHN site or to use the  up2date
feature so i
assume i can leave the machines how they are currently
without being
illegal? Is this correct?

Regards

My understanding is different.  Of course Red Hat wants you
to pay them to
renew.  If you choose not to renew, you do not have the
right to the Red
Hat provided/certified binary updates.  There is no reason
for you to
remove RHEL from your machine.  Your machine will become
increasingly out
of date, but you are still allowed to use it.  If they want
you to remove
their "update software" I assume what they really
mean is up2date and its
related programs.  I would think that all you would really
need to do is
turn off rhnsd so it stops checking in the RHN.
