[Spacewalk-list] Non-provisioned server registering with spacewalk

[Worsham, Michael]

Thank you for that information. I am seeing the older servers now registered with the Spacewalk server. 

However, after registering one of the new servers, 'yum update' from one of the registered servers is still wanting to go to the outside world to do the updates rather than contacting the Spacewalk server for them.

Am I missing a step somewhere?

Yes, it is possible.

Just install client packages:

and run:
  rhn_register
