[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk Systems Physical Systems ?

[Justin Edmands]

on the client run "/usr/sbin/rhn-profile-sync".
If that fails, run a "yum whatprovides /usr/sbin/rhn-profile-sync" -or-
"rpm -qf /usr/sbin/rhn-profile-sync". Install the corresponding package as
it may have been originally packaged separate of rhn-client-tools.

in my case, the result is:

rhn-client-tools-1.9.10-1.el6.noarch : Support programs and libraries for
Red Hat Network or Spacewalk
Repo        : spacewalk-client
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/sbin/rhn-profile-sync


a quick google showed that someone originally made the client tools and
published to fedoraproject for rhel4/5.
