Following myself up with more info:

I'm still looking, but haven't found the official info on client setup; meanwhile, the centos info says that the final step is registration.

Now, I found the "official" info, and it's the same on the command to register, so I'm stuck there. 

In addition, I'm not sure what's needed for client tools. The one site <http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lrsmith/Spacewalk/rpms/> has basically six files (I certainly don't need the gnome setup):
rhn-check,  rhn-client-tools, rhn-setup, rhnlib, rhnsd, and yum-rhn-plugin. The other site that the official doc lists, <http://stahnma.fedorapeople.org/spacewalk-tools/> has a number of subdirectories, and I'm *assuming* that 5Client is good for CentOS 5.2, has all those, and a ton more. I've yet to find a definitive list of what rpms I need. I'm *guessing* that all I need are the ones from the first, but it's not encouraging to figure that once I know about the XMLRPC, I'll then have trial-and-error to find a definitive list.
