[Spacewalk-list] Fixed my osad task pick up issue

[Tarun Reddy]

Been fighting this for a long time and thought I'd share just in case others
who have been seeing this would like to try.

This bug (not filed by me) has a small patch at the end that turns off the
roster functionality of the jabber server. Once I did that, I followed the
following steps and have been happily getting osad functionality working on
both 1.2 and 1.3 installs.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=662593

   1. Apply modifications to my spacewalk's server /etc/jabberd/sm.xml file
   as described in the above bug. Basically this comments out all roster module
   references in that file.
   2. On my spacewalk server:
   /sbin/service jabberd stop ; /sbin/service osa-dispatcher stop ; rm -Rf
   /var/lib/jabberd/db/* ; /sbin/service jabberd start ; /sbin/service
   osa-dispatcher start
   3. On all my clients:
   /etc/init.d/osad stop; rm -f /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth.conf;
   /etc/init.d/osad start

That's it. All jobs are picked up immediately on both of my servers.

Hope this helps,
Tarun
