This is sort of my concern as well. But then I dont use spacewalk and would really like to hear from Miroslav once on the issue. > In my opinion, if CentOS wants to be compatible with RHEL, it needs to be > compatible even in the parts that may or may not be useful to its users. sure, but then the reason why rhn tools were taken out of the distro in CentOS-3, 4 and 5 is not because its not useful to the users, its because it can and did cause real issues to the users and to Red Hat. There were instances were anecdotal evidence suggested hundreds of thousands of people hitting rhn who didnt even have a rhel install. However, given that those issues can be addressed and the rhn tools in centos can be patched against the 'concerns' I'm quite happy to consider putting them back in if it helps people with spacewalk ( and potentially other tools ) -- Karanbir Singh kbsingh at karan.org | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
