I have a RHEL5 channel in my spacewalk server and it shows that there
are 50 packages available for a newly installed server (was installed
from CD images). The SW server is a newly installed 1.4.

However, on the client itself, yum doesn't see them:

# yum clean all; yum repolist

See that rhel5-server-x86_64 line - why is it showing 0 packages available?

Clues welcome...
