[Spacewalk-list] spacewalk cobbler issue

[Johnny Mirza]

Hi,

I have successfully been using spacewalk for a few months now but have recently started using cobbler/kickstart.
The profiles have been setup to the correct group/activation keys and a boot iso has been created, I have created several installs on vmware and the install goes through fine, up until the post script part.
For some reason it is hanging on the post section for about 10 mins, then it looks like what ever it was trying to do times out and it continues on and the guest is built successfully.

I want to know how I can fix that 10-15 min post delay, doing some investigation I noticed that there are two processes that seem to stick out. They are the "rhn_register .... " and the "rhn_check" processes.

I have a feeling that my gpg keys are not setup correctly and this may  be what kickstart is timing out on. Below a copy of the kickstart file that is running and I have a section in there to disable gpg checking, but that is after the rhn_check part of the install

rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://server/XMLRPC --sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT --activationkey=1-e0cc1b592eb4611c5ca6cb774aab27ed,1-67e122a4439b70a9518a1dfe40682036
# end Red Hat management server registration
# end cobbler snippet
rhn_check

) >> /root/ks-post.log 2>&1
# MOTD
echo >> /etc/motd
echo "Spacewalk kickstart on $(date +'%Y-%m-%d')" >> /etc/motd
echo >> /etc/motd

# end of generated kickstart file

%post --interpreter /bin/bash
(
if [ -d "/etc/yum.repos.d" ]; then
 for file in $(find /etc/yum.repos.d/ -type f -iname 'CentOS*.repo')
 do
  sed -i '/^gpgcheck=.*$/aenabled=0' ${file}
  sed -i 'x; G; /^\(.*\)\n\1$/ d; g; p; d' ${file} # to clean up those pesky duplicate lines
 done
fi
[ -f "/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf" ] && sed -i -e 's/^gpgcheck = 1$/gpgcheck = 0/g' /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf

Is there a way to turn off gpg checking from the spacewalk server, rather than from the client?

Thanks for your help
