Thanks Dag, would like to share that we are using mrepo/spacewalk at our end
in SIT and Production environments. It works really great for us so far.
Would like to know how we can configure mrepo installed on a RHEL5 box to
sync with Novell Customer center and pull updates for SLES 11 SP1.

Thanks once again, for the great mrepo tool :)

Regards,
Deependra
