[et-mgmt-tools] Has any one managed to get cobbler and rhn toplay nice?

[Caetano, Greg]

I haven't had any luck.... How do you tell reposync the RHN
user/password to check for entitlements?

# cobbler repo add --name=rh5basex86 --mirror=rhn://rhel-i386-server-5
# cobbler report
repo            : rh5basex86
mirror          : rhn://rhel-i386-server-5
keep updated    : 1
local filename  : 
rpm list        : 
# cobbler reposync
- /usr/bin/reposync -r rhel-i386-server-5
--download_path=/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror
- symlink: /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/rhel-i386-server-5 ->
/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/rh5basex86

I didn't see it in his attachment, but Marc's referring to ...

cobbler repo add --name=foo --mirror=rhn://name-of-rhel5-channel
cobbler reposync

Which worked for me on several different machines, but not for Marc. 
Other reports welcome...
