[Spacewalk-list] osad offline as of unknown

[Brown, Rodrick]

Online I was told a workaround that should work is to disable the roster module in /etc/jabberd/sm.xml
 <!-- <module>roster</module>      <!- - handle roster get/sets and s10ns -->
Remove the jabber authreg.db file and remove the clieht osad-auth.conf and restart
I these changes and still see the same issue :(

Interesting.  I've been working a case with similar characteristics with Red Hat support for over a month now (we have a Red Hat Satellite license).  The UI shows what you describe but "last checkin" gets regularly updated.  The logs on client and satellite also show the clients checking in.  tcpdump shows regular communication.  But scheduled events take hours to get picked up, if they get picked up at all.

We've tested a beta osad patch that's supposed to take care of timeout disconnects (such as a firewall might impose), to no avail.
