[Spacewalk-list] How can my CentOS 6.5 be up to date?

[Daryl Rose]

How can I unregistered this server and clean up all references to the SW
server?   I removed the server from SW itself, but if I do a yum repolist I
get errors about an invalid registration.  I want to start over with a
clean system.

Thanks

Daryl
