Yeah, I inherited this server and I'm sure whatever support and
updating services they paid for are now over.  I didn't think I needed
the RHN, I figured that was only a rpm repo run by Red Hat and that I
just needed to point yum to a free place (like EPEL).  I guess at this
point my only choices are to either update RHEL (hope you can do this
for free if you don't buy support) or to take another 3 days to wipe
the machine and reinstall with another Linux variant.
