[Spacewalk-list] 1.6 proxy installation problem

[Tomi Salmi]

Hi,

I am in the process of setting up a Spacewalk 1.6 based lab system and just
encountered a problem with the proxy installation. Both the Spacewalk
server and the proxy system have SElinux and iptables disabled. The proxy
system is managed by Spacewalk and can also resolve the FQDN of the
Spacewalk server. Neither systems have problems on network level.

The install script seems to fail in retrieving the hostname of Spacewalk
server, which prevents it from populating the config channel.

Am I missing something really obvious here? Any tips on how to troubleshoot
this?

Thanks,
-Tomi
