Wonderful. So I went googling for the error, and found someone who, early last
October, had the same problem, and said it worked with rhn_register. So I tried
that, and it said it failed, and the log on the spacewalk server said
"connection to Oracle lost".
Then I went into spacewalk, and see *two* registrations of the system. So it
looks like it *thinks* it failed, in both cases, but did register. And
spacewalk doesn't look for dups....
In Spacewalk, under system, I see that the kernel's unknown, as is the
location, but everything else seems ok.
*sigh*
Now I need to dig deeper, since it says everything's up to date, and as I know
that the template that the test client was built from was created back in
October, I think, I'm wondering about updates.
Oh, and the command I replaced both perl commands with was:
sed -i.orig -e 's/xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/<mycompany>.com/' -e
's/RHNS-CA-CERT/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT/' /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
Not sure why the scripts I've seen have -npe for perl, since according to my
O'Reilly desk reference for perl, both assume an input loop around your script,
but -n says don't print, and -p says do print, which seems contradictory.
Anywhoo, thanks to all, and feel free to let me know if I should worry about
the "partial" registration. In the meantime, I need to delete one of those, and
then try pushing something.
