Hmm, now it works :)
All I changed in my /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file, was the comment out
the following:
# Note that you won't actually access the primary whitebox site unless
# you comment out the yum-mirror lines below, and unless you are on the
# BPL WAN you will probably get an IP ban.
#
#yum WBEL3 http://whiteboxlinux.org/pub/3.0/en/os/$ARCH
#yum WBEL3-Updates http://whiteboxlinux.org/pub/3.0/en/updates
#yum WBEL3-Extras http://whiteboxlinux.org/pub/3.0/en/extras
yum-mirror WBEL3 http://whiteboxlinux.org/up2date-mirrors/wbel3-base
yum-mirror WBEL3-Updates
http://whiteboxlinux.org/up2date-mirrors/wbel3-updates
yum-mirror WBEL3-Extras
http://whiteboxlinux.org/up2date-mirrors/wbel3-extras
This is confusing to me because above states that it wont access the
primary site unless you comment out the mirrors. So because of that
statement I left it as it was.
Anyway, it works now, thanks guys.
