[Spacewalk-list] Trouble registering a CentOS 5.1 client

[Anoop Bhat]

The activation key was created much earlier when deploying spacewalk but yes I just ran rhnreg_ks -force ...

I forgot to mention this part.

You installed rhel-instnum on the spacewalk server right?

Anoop,
Thanks for the info on the RPM. I downloaded the src RPM, compiled and
installed it, but unfortunately I'm seeing the same error. Did you
just create an activation key and then run the rhenreg_ks command?

Thanks
Len
