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

[Pierre Casenove]

I resolved it by launching rhn-profile-sync on the clients.
Reading at Satellite docs I can't find a clear answer:
- Should I put the root crontab of the clients the execution of
rhn-profile-sync or do I have a problem in my setup and spacewalk should
detect that packages are needed without launching rhn-profile-sync?

Thanks for the information, I'll re-setup a test platform to reproduce the
problem ASAP and reply to your questions.
