What are /etc/rhn/rhn.conf permissions?
% When I try to complete the last step in the "How to Install Spacwalk"
% guide described above (running the "/usr/sbin/rhn-satellite restart"
% command), everything seems to stop/start except for the
% osa-dispatcherservice. When this service is started I get the output

% I have tried my best to troubleshoot this but after a day I have still

% avail so as of right now it is enabled and enforcing. (iptables is
% disabled FYI)
