Re: [Spacewalk-list] Best Practice for adding a child Channel?
Hello, SSM can be managed from spacecmd. You can add your systems using “spacecmd ssm_add” and then continue from there. They can be added individually, by group, by channel or by search string. You should have a look at “spacecmd help” or “man spacecmd” for details. Its capabilities are quite extensive.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Best Practice for adding a child Channel?
If you add the channel to the activation key *after* the client has been registered with that key, nothing will be done on the client. That's by design. New clients *will* get the child channel when registering with that key. If you need to modify many clients now, use the SSM.
