OK make_sat_client: does the magic and makes a node a Satellite/Spacewalk client init_sat_client: (optional) does additional configuration like removing duplicate profiles, joining config channels, uploading local files to config channels
Make_sat_client requires kickstart profiles matching the clients type (i.e. RHEL5 Server). For example 'mksatclient5s-x86_64' for 64 bit RHEL 5 server. The kickstart profile needs an activation key to subscribe the appropriate child channels (like RHN Tools). I generally name the activation key to be the same as the kickstart profile. I've attached a sample kickstart profile but I've removed identifying strings and the SSL and GPG keys. You'll need to put this in. Remember that kickstart profiles and activations are bound to an organisation so if you are multi-org, you'll need to clone these between orgs. The script 'clone_ak_and_kp_between_orgs.pl' should be a good starting point for you. Let me know if you have any questions on the above. Hope the helps.
