[Spacewalk-list] bootstrap.sh, centos 4, hashlib....

[andre at vandervlies.xs4all.nl]

Hi,
I've recentely started with spacewalk and I'm slowly rolling...
I've registered some clients the 'hard way' just to get acquainted with
the system.
Trying the 'bootstrap.sh' script I stumbled over:
    "ImportError: No module named spacewalk.common.fileutils"

This list (and other sources) told me I was missing some stuff which I
installed:
     "yum install rhn-setup yum-rhnplugin python-dmidecode \
          spacewalk-backend-libs python-crypto"
However, the third time I decided to have a look at
'client_config_update.py'...

Suprised I observed the line:
    "from spacewalk.common.fileutils import cleanupAbsPath, make_temp_file"

So, all this trouble for 'just' two functions???

I copied them from 'spacewalk.common.fileutils' (three actually, see att.)
and the script performs nicely....

also on Centos 4...
osad won't start because of a missing 'python-hashlib' (not for Centos 4,
python-2.4). So I installed it from source
(http://code.krypto.org/python/hashlib/).

I never see an OSA status, however....

Ideas??? Anyone...
