It sounds like osad is not working for some reason. One way to debug this is to start OSAD on the client as follows: osad -N -vv You should see plenty of information being printed out about connections being made to the jabber server and so forth. Then, when you schedule an action (obviously a ping is good for testing) you will see this in OSAD's debugging output. Potential problems include: 1) incorrect SSL certs shared between the client and server 2) jabber daemon on the server inaccessible to the client due to firewall 3) Trying to run jabberd 2.2 with spacewalk 0.5 - uninstall this and use jabberd 2.0 4) ISTR having to fiddle with my jabberd configuration to get osad working when I set this up, so turning up the jabberd logging on the spacewalk server may help in turning up problems. Unfortunately this was some time ago so I cannot remember the details exactly. Finally, here's a posting I made to this list regarding OSAD configuration: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00584.html The chap I was replying to then put some of that information on the wiki, I think on this page: https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/OSADSetup Regards, -- David Nutter Tel: +44 (0)131 650 4888 BioSS, JCMB, King's Buildings, Mayfield Rd, EH9 3JZ.
