[Spacewalk-list] Kickstart and rhn-actions-control

[Jonathan DeHaan]

Josh,

My kickstarts have the following four lines shortly after the 
certificate installations:

mkdir -p /etc/sysconfig/rhn/allowed-actions/script
touch /etc/sysconfig/rhn/allowed-actions/script/all
mkdir -p /etc/sysconfig/rhn/allowed-actions/configfiles
touch /etc/sysconfig/rhn/allowed-actions/configfiles/all

These four lines should be added by the checkmarks for Enable Spacewalk 
Configuration Management and Enable Spacewalk Remote Commands on the 
System Details -> Details tab of the kickstart profile.
