It looks like all of our RHEL 6 systems now need to connect to the RHN Optional Channel. (puppet, ruby vs. selinux deps) Is there a way to do that with a script without having to enter RHN userid and password? Is there a way to add a channel during kickstart?

Unless you''re using RHN''s system management features (and thus paying extra for the Management Entitlements) you won''t be able to do this though. And since you''re using Puppet that seems unlikely. I''d use either mrepo or yum-downloadonly to mirror your RHN repos to local yum repos so you can manage them more effectively.

There''s also an API for RHN/Satellte that would allow you to add the channel, but you might have to use your RHN userid/pw, I don''t remember. I haven''t used Satellite in just over a year now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Thanks, we are paying for "satellite" but not the more useful newer functions. My registration key worked, but systems were just attached to the base channel. I was able to update my key on RHN and that is all that is needed.

And I misspoke, we don''t have satellite, just proxy. Long day..... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
