[Spacewalk-list] general inquiry about client install/registration

[Brian Kinney]

I have to agree with Joe here.

I am not overly security paranoid, but I’d plan to lock down the OS
deployment/patch services for 90% of the servers in my company too –
whether or not I had a gov’t contract to protect.  Also, I am not finding
this a “complicated solution.”    After working for a banking system, this
is comparatively trivial.

Wow you guys do like complicated solutions why not just put the repo in a
subdirectory of /pub off the docroot ‎spacewalk doesn't password protect
that directly off the webserver for just such uses.



Just to be clear what repos precisely are you intending to mirror? Server,
client, EPEL or what?

Sounds great!  Never built a mirror like this.  Any suggestions/URLs where
a quality example could be found?

This can be done easily.



I mirror the packages to a local apache redirect on the spacewalk server…



It can easily be done.

Hello list,

Just a general question about clients.



One reason for my investigation into satellite/spacewalk is due to network
security and lack of internet access to our linux machines. I was surprised
when the spacewalk documentation mentioned external yum installs in order
to get spacewalk ready; was really hoping this was done 100% internal with
the spacewalk server.



So my question is – what’s the best practice to move everything internal?
Can it be done? Should I look further into the bootstrap procedure?







Thanks,

William
