Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Unable to register clients

I tried registering the server to itself, and don't recall why right now, but it didn't work. Prior to attempting to register itself, I had no problems w/ registering machines. I had to register a new server soon afterwards, and when I went to do so, was unable to. Its giving me:

An error has occurred:

Error communicating with server. The message was:
