[Spacewalk-list] Updates not seen as needed for clients

Tue Sep 13 15:10:28 UTC 2011

Nope, same behavior (exact that rhn_check re-downloads the repo information)

The only way I found was to perform a rhn-profile-sync from the clients...
Isn't it planified to be run regularly? Do I have to put this in the root
crontab of each client?
