I've read the explanation of the two-way communication that occurs between them, but I'm not sure how I should go about actually using the functionality. The snippets are viewable in spacewalk, but not editable, and there's no way to use them via spacewalk. It appears that you have to edit the profile in /var/lib/rhn/kickstart/wizard/ directly. However, will spacewalk croak on arbitrary changes to this file considering that it's generated automagically? Should I dispense entirely with spacewalk-generated profiles and create my own from scratch? What's the Best Practice here?

The problem here is a permission error, the snippets can be edited from
the spacewalk server if you chown them to apache user.
