Also try running the below command on your clients rm -f /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth.conf; service osad restart If you are running a host firewall or have firewalls in place on your network, ensure port 5222 is open between clients and your Spacewalk server On May 13, 2016 8:44 AM, "Daryl Rose" <<a href="mailto:darylrose@outlook.com" target="_blank">darylrose@outlook.com</a>> wrote: OSAD is not picking up scheduled updates. To the best of my knowledge, everything is running and I don't see any errors on the server or on the clients. osad is running on the client, osa-dispatcher as well as the jabberd processes are running on the server. The packages will be picked up and applied by rhnsd, but I have to wait for it to check in. I would like to have the packages picked up immediately via osad. BTW, I'm using SW version 2.3. Any thoughts on why osad isn't picking up packages?
