[Spacewalk-list] register systems

[Steve Vargo]

I have a very similar issue I also get the 404 error and can't register any hosts. What OS is your spacewalk running on? I was told this is because of the version of  python that RHEL 5.2 is using.

This time, I have *not*, until now, hacked at the system to make it work, but this functionality (or lack thereof) is obviously a problem.
