Now I don't get this as the cert does exist on the client machine and /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date points to it, I'll admit I pasted it into an empty file with vi from Notepad++ , but I did the unix conversion first and have double checked there are no control characters with "cat -v" on the file... Anyway if this was the problem why would it eventually work! ~sigh 2014-04-23 10:45:22 jabber_lib.process: 180 Error caught: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/rhn/osad/jabber_lib.py", line 120, in main self.process_forever(c) File "/usr/share/rhn/osad/jabber_lib.py", line 178, in process_forever self.process_once(client) File "/usr/share/rhn/osad/osad.py", line 249, in process_once client.process(timeout=180) File "/usr/share/rhn/osad/jabber_lib.py", line 1044, in process data = self._read(self.BLOCK_SIZE) SSLError: ('OpenSSL error; will retry', "(-1, 'Unexpected EOF')") 2014-04-23 10:45:22 jabber_lib.main: Sleeping 95 seconds Error caught: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/rhn/osad/jabber_lib.py", line 120, in main self.process_forever(c) File "/usr/share/rhn/osad/jabber_lib.py", line 178, in process_forever self.process_once(client) File "/usr/share/rhn/osad/osad.py", line 249, in process_once client.process(timeout=180) File "/usr/share/rhn/osad/jabber_lib.py", line 1044, in process data = self._read(self.BLOCK_SIZE) SSLError: ('OpenSSL error; will retry', "(-1, 'Unexpected EOF')") 2014-04-23 10:52:57 jabber_lib.main: Sleeping 78 seconds <div class="moz-cite-prefix"> </div> <blockquote cite="mid:53578C9D.1010809@doccentrics.com" type="cite"> <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> I've just changed my timezone from EDT to United Kingdom now on the spacewalk server. Hopefully this might resolve the problem as there's a lot of time dependency involved. AFAIK I think I've seen the list talking about an EDT issue with 2.1, although I couldn't say for sure what it was set to before I did the 2.0 > 2.1 upgrade.
