[Spacewalk-list] A Couple Questions...

[Wojtak, Greg]

Got it - I missed one subtle yet crucial step when following the How-To:

yum install yum-rhn-plugin

now to tackle osad/jabberd.

Any insights into the errors I've been getting with that?  I have the following in /var/log/osad over and over:

jabber_lib.main: Unable to connect to jabber servers, sleeping 97 seconds

Thanks again!

Yes, I followed that particular How-To.  I have disabled my repos in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.  I have disabled base and updates, leaving others enabled (like epel, which I am not hosting out of spacewalk yet).It only checks those remaining.  Do I need to create a new repository config that points at spacewalk?

If I run yum update on the client system, it keeps going out to the internet to check for the updates (verified with tcpdump) instead of the spacewalk server.  Is there some config change I need to make?

The option I preferred to disabling the repos was to change the yum.conf:

reposdir=/etc/yum.repos.d/custom

That way, you're never going to get caught out by a package creating a new repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/
