[Spacewalk-list] OSAD connection retries

[Pierre Casenove]

Hello list,

I ran into the following issue:
- due to scheduled downtime on spacewalk server, jabberd process was
not running.
- On the clients logs, here is what I see:
# cat /var/log/osad
2012-03-16 15:04:09 jabber_lib.main: Unable to connect to jabber
servers, sleeping 119 seconds
2012-03-16 15:06:08 jabber_lib.main: Unable to connect to jabber
servers, sleeping 70 seconds
2012-03-16 15:07:18 jabber_lib.main: Unable to connect to jabber
servers, sleeping 106 seconds
2012-03-16 15:09:04 jabber_lib.main: Unable to connect to jabber
servers, sleeping 113 seconds

An after that, no more logs on the client. OSAD process is running,
but the client is shown as offline in spacewalk. I restart osad, and
it works well.
I didn't change anything in osad.conf file
My guess is the osad, after 4 conenctions retries, gave up connecting.

Is it a normal behavior? Or should I put more verbose logging on the
clients to see what happens exactly?
