[Spacewalk-list] Non-provisioned server registering with spacewalk

[Worsham, Michael]

Logged into the client server and did this: 'rhn_check -vv'

And received the following message...

D: login(forceUpdate=True) invoked
logging into up2date server
D: writeCachedLogin() invoked
D: Wrote pickled loginInfo at  1239216197.55  with expiration of

D: Attempt to call an unsupported action packages.checkNeedUpdate

However, after I did little bit of research, I stumbled upon this
article:

http://markmail.org/message/e7suqolcfnp336dd?q=%22Invalid+function+call+
attempted%22&page=2

So I did a 'yum install yum-rhn-plugin' and tried again.


Now I am getting the following message to appear...
