Heh... always a viable workaround.

osad's been known to be a bit fragile.  From what I've read there are more than a few folks that set up a cronjob to restart it regularly.

Interesting... after changing the IP address and restarting the network init.d script to make the changes take effect, it appears that osad stopped getting jabber messages.  I suspected this due to the fact that I had to run rhn_check on the client to get the requested hardware list refresh to happen.  I then initiated a reboot from Spacewalk that wasn't happening either.  After about 5 minutes I decided to check osad out.  It was running so I went ahead and restarted it.  Within 2 seconds of restarting I got a message about the system going down for a reboot.  I guess maybe osad should have a hard dependency on networking and restart when it restarts.
