[Spacewalk-list] Updating a machine after registering.

[Pradeep Kilambi]

What version of client are you registering to spacewalk server? if 
RHEL/CentOS-5 you can run 'rhn-profile-sync' and update your package 
profile info on the server. Also make sure rhnsd is running and date is 
synced correctly. Yes osad is an option if you want your actions to be 
picked up immediately. Else rhnsd should do that automatically in 
regular intervals.

Thanks,
~ Prad
