I also have the Config File Deployment option checked and have selected the appropriate configuration channels. Upon installation however, no config files are deployed. When looking in spacewalk, I can see the install action is created properly but fails (in spacewalk) because of the rhn-actions-control settings are not kosher.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>During troubleshooting, I can simply reschedule the failed config deploy action, then on the server perform the rhn-actions-control --enable-all command followed by an rhn_check and viola! Pay dirt.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ideally, this is performed during kickstarting/installation -- I’m assuming that I need to place an rhn-actions-control --enable-all somewhere, just not sure the ideal spot to place it. Can I just put it in a post script? My kickstart profile does not specify the “Tools” channel, instead it is a subscription added by the activation key.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please advise.<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
