Greg,

you'd need all of the client bits for this to work.

- rhncfg-* for handling the configuration files
- up2date or yum - which ever is easier to get built to pull down the rpms
- rhnreg-ks/rhn_register to register the machines to Spacewalk

I'm not sure if there are any server side changes needed to support AIX.

Pradeep, any other thoughts on this?
