[Spacewalk-list] POST /rhn/kickstart/TreeCreate.do + cobbler: We had an error trying to login

[James Garratt]

I've seen this error a couple of weeks back. After adding a bunch of
debugging code in cobbler I found that Spacewalk is passing tokens with a
newline character at the end. The spacewalk java was a bit to complex for me
so I just hacked in a fix to the cobbler code rather than trying to identify
the source.
Finding the fault in the spacewalk code where the newline is added or the
spot in the cobbler code where the newline is passed to spcewalk and
submitting the appropriate bugzilla report is left as an exercise for the
reader.

Hope this helps =D
