So basically the config file layed down for /etc/sysconfig/rhn is syntatically wrong and it blows up? Yeah that is not something I'd want to address in Cobbler. It's not the right place. Teaching old versions of Anaconda new tricks? Yes, because that's the only place we can do
that.
It's syntactically correct, but there was a regression in up2date for RHEL4.6 that broke things
For registration questions, and this one, I'd highly recommend spacewalk-list, which is the upstream list for Satellite, rather than cobbler list.
Yeah, found the problem. The system needs to be able to resolve itself when registering, so adding entries to /etc/hosts does the trick. I'll probably just write a quick & dirty snippet myself to address that.
As a more general issue, having a snippet that adds to /etc/hosts the IP and hostnames for a system record would be quite useful.
