[Spacewalk-list] Recent Update from Redhat broke OSAD on RHEL 7 Clients

[Eric]

Hoping for some input on this.

Server is RHEL 6, running Spacewalk 2.6 and current with the 2.6 stable repo.

Clients are a mix of RHEL 6 and RHEL 7.

Clients are NOT using packages from outside of Red Hat (IE, they are all using 
packages provided by the Red Hat Tools channel or the Base RHEL channels).  
These are reposync'd to my Spacewalk server.

After patching last night, Osad is no longer communicating with the Spacewalk 
server on 100% of my RHEL 7 clients.

The following official Red Hat released RPMs were part of the patches applied, 
and I suspect the problem lies with one of them:

osad                                     noarch             5.11.63-11.el7sat                

rhncfg                                   noarch             5.10.87-10.el7sat                

rhncfg-actions                           noarch             5.10.87-10.el7sat               
 
rhncfg-client                            noarch             5.10.87-10.el7sat                

rhncfg-management                        noarch             5.10.87-10.el7sat                      

Installing for dependencies:

osa-common                               noarch             5.11.63-11.el7sat                

spacewalk-backend-libs                   noarch             2.0.3-18.el7sat
                  
spacewalk-usix                           noarch             2.7.1-3.el7sat                   


Previously I saw some traffic regarding problems with spacewalk-usix on RHEL 6.  
But my understanding was that in that case it was due to some packages being 
installed from the Spacewalk Development branch.  

All of these packages came from the Red Hat Official channels in my case.

This is the first time I've ever noticed packages in the official Red Hat 
channels with "Spacewalk" in the name......not to say they haven't existed, 
but I've never noticed them before.

The errors I've found are kind of the standard "cannot connect to jabberd" 
errors.

Does anyone have any insight into this?
