Configuration file management: I install some 30 configuration files for LDAP, DNS, network configuration, etc. to the clients. This way can maintain a consistent installation of your main configuration on all your clients. > b) In my situation i 've to again need yum for basic client setup . why > one more yum is required .

There is no other way: to use the spacewalk client on your client systems you must install the rpms on the client. Set up your own yum repository. Include all spacewalk client rpms. Then check which dependencies are missing. Include those missing rpms into your repository. If you have a consistent installation on most of your client systems it shouldn't be too hard to find all the necessary dependencies. On our CentOS 5 clients yum installed 11 rpms to get the client connected to the spacewalk server. Then use configuration file management to deploy a .repo file to your client which disables the repo for your initial installation on the client. From then on, clients only access the spacewalk server for updates... -Gerald _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
