[Spacewalk-list] Why does one of my clients have a question mark next to it's name?

[Brian Ross]

That didn’t fix it so I deleted the system and registered it and that fixed it.  Thanks for your help.

That means it's not checking in with Spacewalk. Verify that the rhnsd service is running on the client system. # service rhnsd status
Without that service running the client won't periodically check-in with Spacewalk and thus has an unknown status. You can force the client to check-in manually by running # rhn_check on the client. The rhnsd service does this automatically every couple hours as long as the service is running.
