[Spacewalk-list] problems with spacewalk configuration

[Mark Yowan]

to keep your channels in sync:
/usr/bin/satellite-sync

to push updates to clients from what I understand is that you need the 
tools sub-channel installed.
here are my notes on it:
* to install a tools channel
satellite-sync -c rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-5

* in satellite, once you install a sub channel you need to alter a 
machine subscriptions in the satellite
gui to include that subchannel to install packages from it.
then on the server run:
yum clean all
yum check-update

yum clean
yum install osad-5.9.10-5.el5sat.noarch

on the spacewalk/satellite server: service osa-dispatcher start
on the client:
vi /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad.conf
make
osa_ssl_cert = /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
server_name = thehostnameofyoursatelliteserver

on client run: yum install python-hashlib

on client run: service osad start

After that you should be able to push out updates from the satellite webui.
