So, is it impossible to run a RHEL box that gets its updates from RHN but is 
configured and monitored by Spacewalk?
I have seen some different documentation on potential methods to sync the RHN 
packages to Spacewalk, but feel pretty confident that this is (1) in violation 
of the spirit of the Spacewalk project and (2) may invalidate the Red Hat 
Support agreements that my company already has in place.

More than anything, I have yet to find another product/project with some of the 
monitoring abilities of Spacewalk and would like that level of monitoring on 
our RHEL servers.

Thanks.

Subject: RE: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk & RHEL question

I think (and I may be wrong) that a client can only be registered to one 
spacewalk system.  When I have accidentally tried to register a system that was 
previously registered, an error pops up warning me to use the --force option to 
re-register.  The force option then unregisters my client from the original 
system and registers it to the forced system.  Not sure if it removes it on the 
spacewalk/satellite server or just from the client config.

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk & RHEL question
Are there any gotchas I should know about when registering a RHEL server with 
Spacewalk?
Is it possible to use Spacewalk for config management and monitoring and still 
pull updates from RHN?

I would assume that this shouldn't be an issue if I don't have a RHEL channel 
defined in Spacewalk and the updates should pull from RHN, but I didn't know if 
there was an issue I may run into by having the box registered to both systems.

Thanks.
