[Spacewalk-list] How to set Spacewalk server as yum server

[Paul Robert Marino]

yes that would be correct
the "RHN" plugin that spacewalk uses does not use the configurations
in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory
it uses the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date for all its information if you
dig into that file a little you will get a better understanding of how
it and Redhat Network functions.
