Hi Adrián, Thanks for your response. The fqdn is present in the host file of the Spacewalk server and test failed there. During the installation of the client there's no shell on VT2 so I'm unable to perform the test in that stage. Thanks again, Willem. <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 1:39 PM, Adrián Márques <<a href="mailto:amarques@geocom.com.uy">amarques@geocom.com.uy</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I can't provide any insight into your problem, but I'd recommend checking out whether it actually is the fqdn before taking the time to set up a DNS server. Just add your server's fqdn to /etc/hosts in your client machine and see if a request addressed to the fqdn works or not. If not, mail back and someone else might be able to help you out. Good luck.

Login failed for me if I did not have a fqdn. I think I might have used ip on a previous satellite install I worked on but I dont have access to it anymore to test that. You are using a enterprise level tool that just works better if it has the supporting services like dns working. It will take you 30mins to setup a dns server somewhere on a box and at least help eliminate dns related issues.
