[Spacewalk-list] Repo woes

Ah, Michael, never mind - it worked!  I see 22 packages in 
the x86_64 channel, and 12 in the new cloned IA-32 channel.  
Seems like a pretty convoluted way to do this, but at least 
it works.  Subscribed a 32-bit machine to the new channel 
and, voila, it shows samba packages needed to be upgraded.

Thanks so much!  Likewise to Thomas and the other 
responders.

Now, on to my next question :-) .
