Phil, et all,
I spoke with a user in the spacewalk irc channel who believed he had found this
problem and found a fix on the mail lists, I'm watching to catch up with him to
confim, while, in the mean time I'm going to post some logs in a seperate mail
after this to the list for analysis.

Hi Matt,
I'm not sure I have anything helpful for you, but I'm particularly
interested in problem 1. I've been getting similar issues. One question I have
for you is whether you've included gpg keys for Spacewalk-2010 and EPEL in
your kickstart file. Without these keys, I think some post-install package
installs will fail, which may be part of the puzzle.
Anyway, if you make any progress, I'd be grateful if you'd let me know.

To add a little more meat on the bones to this thanks to some help on irc.
if I tail the catalina.out log on the server and try to do an rhn_check on the
client, the log doesn't get updated, which I'd expect something as the server
is responding with a 500 error.
I can also communicate with the server from the client well, eg: I can do an
rhn-channels --list, I can install a package from the server on on the client
with yum, the spacewalk ui shows the client checking in, eg: registered at
12:21, checked in at 12:51, so there is valid comms there, if I do an
rhn_register I'm told (rightly so) that the server is already registered, so
what could be causing the error 500 on the rhn_check ? I suspect this is the
same issue as the config files not being able to be deployed.
thanks,
Matt
