[Spacewalk-list] how to block yum usage on client systems

[J.W. slone]

I have a server that has spacewalk installed on it. I am able to access spacewalk through two methods.
 
1. Through the browser I am able to login into this management toool. Spacewalk already has four group setup up the system tab under the system overview. 
                a) I do not know how to setup the activation keys or their location on the system.
I want to install a blank system with an centos OS

What are you trying to accomplish?  Anyone who logs in as root already has enough power to do plenty of damage.  If you are managing clients through spacewalk, you can deny them access to packages you don't want them to have.  And while root can circumvent that through creative means, it would be troublesome for them to do so.
