Hi Stephen

We're using spacewalk 2.2 server with 2.2 clients. You asked, if it's a problem 
on spacewalk/client 2.2 also...

If we provision a centos 6.5 (spacewalk client 2.2) we are able to use jabber; 
if we provision 6.6 (or update 6.5 to 6.6) it won't work anymore (denied by 
selinux). You then have to enable a workaround as stated in bugzilla issue 
(kind of disable selinux enforced mode for osad_t for example).

It is not security relevant, but quite sad that you will not be able to use 
jabber with spacewalk 2.2/centos 6.6.

Cheers,
Rolf

that have SELinux in enforcing mode

No, you could make that argument about every single bug ever filed against 
Spacewalk. By "security related" I mean related to users being able to escalate 
their privileges on Spacewalk server or unauthenticated attackers gaining 
access to information they should not have.

I've asked this question in the bug too, but do you know if the 2.2 clients 
work correctly? If they do then this will likely never get fixed in old 
versions of Spacewalk.
