Hey Oliver,

I have problems using then rhn-tools channel. It could not subscribe 
automatically and when I subscribed the mrepo-systemid's on the RHN 
website to the rhn-tools channel, I get the following respons when 
updating:

	rhel5s-i386: Updating Red Hat Enterprise Server 5 (i386)
	rhel5s-i386: Mirror packages from rhns://rhn-tools-rhel-i386-server-5 to /shelf/redhat/system/rhel5s-i386/rhn-tools
	rhnget: [('SSL routines', 'SSL23_WRITE', 'ssl handshake failure')]
	mrepo: Mirroring failed for rhns://rhn-tools-rhel-i386-server-5 with 
	message:
	  Failed with return code: 256
	rhel5s-x86_64: Updating Red Hat Enterprise Server 5 (x86_64)
	rhel5s-x86_64: Mirror packages from rhns://rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-5 to /shelf/redhat/system/rhel5s-x86_64/rhn-tools
	rhnget: [('SSL routines', 'SSL23_WRITE', 'ssl handshake failure')]
	mrepo: Mirroring failed for rhns://rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-5 with 
	message:
	  Failed with return code: 256

This is the same error for doing the rhn-tools channel subscription.

I do not understand why one of the channels behaves like this consistently 
and can only assume this is a RHN error (or maybe something weird with 
the proxy ?).

Can someone verify this ?

Kind regards,
