You don't need to use a SMT server. At least not with version 1.9. 2.0 should still be ok..
As long as you have a novell userid and password you can create a repo as you normally would using something like: https://username:[email protected]/repo/$RCE/SLE11-HAE-SP3-Pool/sle-11-x86_64/ You will have to modify cobbler config as it doesn't interpret the $ in the url correctly. Apart from that it's business as usual to sync novell repos and add clients.

You may then create channels in your Spacewalk instance which will sync their content via a custom repo which point to your SMT server. Automatic installation via cobbler will work, but you will have to supply a complete AutoYAST.
