First, this question should have been posted to R-SIG-Fedora: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora which covers RH based (RHEL/CentOS/Fedora) Linux distributions. That being said, RHEL requires a paid subscription to utilize the Red Hat Network (RHN). It would appear that either you are not logged into RHN and/or you have not paid for support. You need to resolve that problem. If you do not want to pay for support and stay with an RHEL compatible distribution, consider CentOS: http://www.centos.org/ Regards, Marc Schwartz
