[Spacewalk-list] Using up2dateAuth module in custom scripts

[Stephen Benjamin]

We've got a script that will go to Satellite and populate a bunch of custom
values using the XML-RPC API -- things like blade/chassis location, and
application-specific info.  It's done at firstboot.  The problem with this
is that it needs a username/password for Satellite and we'd prefer that not
to be in the script.   I've noticed that the RHN tools use the
/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client modules...and I can use them too to
authenticate, but I don't see how I can populate custom key info.  From what
I understand, I know the rhn_tools use a different "hidden" API.  Any idea
if it's possible to set custom key values using that and how I might do
that?
