Red herring. After I installed the necessary client software, received the same
error as in original post.
I’m able to curl the https page of the spacewalk box from the client, telling
me to go to the login page, so the port is open.

Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] Unable to register clients
It looks like the only traffic occurring during a registration is http/https,
at least according to my firewall.
I tried to register another box, and prior to the process telling me that I
didn’t have the rhnreg package installed, it complained about the up2date
config file…

I’ll install the required software on the box and report back if anything comes
of that.

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Unable to register clients
I tried registering the server to itself, and don’t recall why right now, but
it didn’t work. Prior to attempting to register itself, I had no problems w/
registering machines. I had to register a new server soon afterwards, and when
I went to do so, was unable to. Its giving me:

An error has occurred:
