[Spacewalk-list] Trouble registering a CentOS 5.1 client

[Anoop Bhat]

Hehe. Oops.  Sorry about that. I guess I should have mentioned it from the get go.

Did your system register correctly? Ie the system name was recognized?

I got me an "unknown" system for the name.

Anoop,
That was the part I was missing. I thought I had to install it on the
client.I also had to restart spacewalk afterwards, but it worked like
a charm now.
Thanks for the help
Len
