I’m confused by your reply.   I’m not talking about RHEL6.   I’m talking about 
CentOS/RHEL4.  The repository for CentOS4 seems to have been killed or moved.  
The wiki page refers to this:

# rpm -ivh 
http://stahnma.fedorapeople.org/spacewalk-tools/spacewalk-client-tools-0.0-1.noarch.rpm
Well …. There is no stahnma.fedorapeople.org anymore.   Would someone care to 
update this information to either declare where this repository now lives or 
declare that there is no longer any support for RHEL4 client tools?  I must 
admit I’m a bit puzzled about why this is still in the wiki.

I looked at the repo config on one of these RHEL4 servers and see this:

Ø  rpm -q --filesbypkg spacewalk-client-tools
spacewalk-client-tools    /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/SPACEWALK-CLIENT-TOOLS-RPM-GPG-KEY

on the client run "/usr/sbin/rhn-profile-sync".
If that fails, run a "yum whatprovides /usr/sbin/rhn-profile-sync" -or- "rpm 
-qf /usr/sbin/rhn-profile-sync". Install the corresponding package as it may 
have been originally packaged separate of rhn-client-tools.

in my case, the result is:

rhn-client-tools-1.9.10-1.el6.noarch : Support programs and libraries for Red 
Hat Network or Spacewalk
Repo        : spacewalk-client
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/sbin/rhn-profile-sync

a quick google showed that someone originally made the client tools and 
published to fedoraproject for rhel4/5. http://en.it-usenet.org/thread/19251/15/

I tried hardware refresh followed by rhn_check on the client.   I tried delete

  Some of these servers are on RHEL4 and I don’t see anything named like that.

I believe it uses dmidecode information to make the determination. Have you 
tried scheduling a hardware refresh in the GUI for the affected systems? You 
can also do rhn-profile-sync locally on the system

How does Spacewalk determine that a server is physical when selecting the 
Systems -> Physical Systems button?

I have a few former physical servers that were virtualized.   I tried 
re-registering them.    This succeeded in changing the status of some of them 
from physical to virtual, but there are an equal number that are still being 
flagged as physical, even though I can see when I click on the Hardware tab for 
each of them that VMware is the manufacturer.

Any pointers to clearing this up would be appreciated.
