Actually, the RHN protocol/format has changed to support the Yum plugin for RHN. Rather than adapting the RHN protocol into what Yum expects, RHN was made to export the Yum metadata XML files. There is still some XMLRPC calls for authentication and authentication tokens in the HTTP headers as was done before. Looks like the registration process is still much the same as it was before. Red Hat has announced that they will port the changes to all supported versions of Satellite which I believe is 3.7 and up. I *think* that the way Proxy works that it doesn't need changes but I'm not completely sure. Jack > > As far as I understand it, the Proxy doesn't need changing, RHN doesn't > need changing.
