It might be easier to just yum and the centos4 repos that come
pre-configured with Centos4. but if you want to manage centos4 via
spacewalk, it takes a few steps:
Editing the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file:
Remove all the source lines, so up2date doesn't try use a non-local rhn source.
Then register the client with your own rhn:
rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=http://<your spacewalk server>/XMLRPC
--activationkey=<your activation key>
Then do the appropriate channel adding and such on the spacewalk
sever, this should be just like a centos5 setup.
Then, back on the server:
Import the GPG key
rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-4
To update the server:
up2date -u -v
if there any kernel, or other protected updates:
up2date -u -v -p
To install packages, not using yum:
up2date -i <package name>
