Environment

Red Hat Enterprise Server v3.0 - RHEL3AS

Situation

Registering a device using 'rug sahttp://serveraddress'hangs rug at 0%.

Subsequent'rug sa' commands return ERROR: A service of type 'ZENworks' already exists on this client.

Workaround:
  1. Remove the eTrust package
  2. Start zmd using '/etc/init.d/novell-zmd start'
  3. use rug sa to add the desired service
  4. Install eTrust again
