[Spacewalk-list] Support for SUSE and RHEL4

[Jason M. Nielsen]

Running Spacewalk 1.4 with RHEL 4.8 clients. I have seen some strange 
issues during the registration process. The registration appeared to be 
ok and the client would check in (via rhn_check) without issue but it 
would never show updates being available. Had to reregister every client 
after the initial registration to get this working. There is no yum rhn 
plugin as far as I know for RHEL4 so you will be back to using up2date 
which while it works its just not as nice as yum and it makes things 
inconsistent across installations. Also up2date doesnt appear to notify 
SW about actions that have taken place like yum does. ie: up2date 
install foo will not register an event in spacewalk. If you schedule 
from spacewalk though it works fine. Rollbacks also do not appear to 
work at all.
