You have to have properly licensed servers to be able to access the repositories. The reason why I am using SW is because I have both RHEL and SLES servers in my environment. I evaluated purchasing Red Hat Satellite server and SuSE Package Management Server. However, I cannot afford purchasing both products and licenses all of my systems, so I opted for Spacewalk. Spacewalk is the upstream development for both platforms and I can have a single pain of glass for both environments. I could make either RH Satellite or SuSE Management Server work for both, but I would have to setup a PULP server to proxy the packages from one environment to the other. I tested that scenario, and it was a major pain. Going the SW direction seems to be the best option. I registered my SW server with Red Hat, and then a couple of servers with SuSE, who's sole purpose is to access the repositories. I now am able to manage both RHEL and SLES environments from a single SW server. Very easy and works great. But again, you need to license and register servers with SuSE to access the repositories.

For example, I have servers that are on both SLES 11 SP3 and SLES 11 SP4. I built two servers specifically just to register to SuSE.
