Why do you say "RHEL 4 and all of its derivatives are EOL (End of Life) don't expect any thing to support it any more"? Would you please explain it further?

newer version as soon as possible.<br><br>As for that article its a little out of date but yes generally it is<br>correct. be fore warned you may need to run with selinux in permissive<br>mode for a while to get the rules correct.<br><br>There are also other errata sync script than the one he mentioned in<br>the article. the reason i mention this is some people have no trouble<br>with it while others
don't like it for one reason or an other. getting<br>the errata sync process to work the way you want is important because<br>if you mess it up you can send days fixing and redoing it. So I highly<br>suggest you try a few of them before you decide which one to use.<br>I personally had no end of issues with rhn-clone-errata.py and got so<br>fed up with it i wrote my own from scratch; however I know other<br>people who swear it work perfectly for them.<br><br><br>On Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 11:00 AM, <<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:fnwsa@yahoo.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:fnwsa@yahoo.com">fnwsa@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br>> Hi,<br>><br>> I am new in Spacewalk and hope to get some helps here :-)<br>><br>> Two questions: (1) Is the latest Spacewalk compatible with RHEL 4?
