[Spacewalk-list] systems not registered by default?

[Stroehmann, James]

My clients auto-register when kickstarting, you might be missing the spacewalk client tools in your package list? 


Also, one problem i was having originally was that new systems would not have the correct time on them, so i have a script in my kickstart to use rdate to update them.


look in the root's home directory for the installation log files, post them here ... they might provide some clues.

ok thanks, I was thinking thats what I had to do, but I was was hoping there would be something more elegant and
built-in.
