[Spacewalk-list] multiple activation keys and config channels

[Stefan Roat - SKIDATA]

thanks, for the manual rhnregister case, thats sounds reasonable
but within a kickstart profile I don't have a possibility to change the order of my activation keys

any ideas for that?

cheers,
Stefan

I use similar setup, when you register your system (whit rhnreg_ks for example), you must specify your keys from the most specific to the most general

eg:

rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=http://spacewalk.example.com/XMLRPC --force --activationkey=[databases-servers-key],[production-site-key],[distribution-key]
