I received a customer escalation on this case: I am having an issue with the Katello agent and goferd. Jon has done an excellent job with this case. I am very happy with Jon. My issue is with engineering. I am having an issue with the Katello agent and goferd. My ticket has been open a month. Engineering just responded the Katello agent is deprecated and I need to move to remote execution. One month to come back with nothing. I am running Satellite 6.11 which is still under support. The specific wording from the Satellite 6.11 upgrade documentation is "The Katello agent is deprecated and will be removed in a future Satellite version." Do you not have to support it until you do? FYI remote execution is hot garbage. By default remote execution uses root to connect from Satellite to clients. It is rather shocking that Red Hat is pushing a tool that requires you to enable root login for SSH so that they can connect as root. That goes against everything security and something you should not be promoting. I will NOT be using remote execution. Jon mentioned 6.12 has an option to use MQTT instead of goferd. That I am interested in, but I am not ready to move to 6.12. Any updates in relation to this. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
