Thanks I forgot about spacewalk calling 32bit IA-32
ill create a page on the wiki for posting the examples when i get a few
minutes and add the URL to the embedded documentation.
I'm glad you found the script useful.

ahve any RHEL 4 boxes running in production any more but two have 2 options
to figure it out option 1 if you have a box currently registered to redhat
network you can get it from the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid file here is an
example from RHEL 6 "
