John, This is an option in rhn.conf: take_snapshots = 1 set to 0 to disable snapshots.
Actually, change that to: enable_snapshots = 1 taw pointed out that it is more consistent.
Okay, I've added the following to the release notes. Thanks for working out the details! A new configuration option, enable_snapshots, has been added to the /etc/rhn/rhn.conf file. This allows administrators to enable or disable capturing system snapshots. By default, snapshots are enabled; to disable it, edit the enable_snapshots option to the following: enable_snapshots=0

didnt make it into 3/23 build.. will wait until next build [root@grandprix ~]# cat /etc/rhn/rhn.conf | grep snap [root@grandprix ~]# ls /root/Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090323.0-i386-embedded-oracle.iso /root/Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090323.0-i386-embedded-oracle.iso [root@grandprix ~]#
not in build yet..
# system snapshots enabled enable_snapshots = 1 its there.. on 4/3 just need to test it
tested w/ snapshots on.. passes.. turned snapshot off.. restart installed packages, config channels, files.. no new snapshots taken.. passes
$ cat /etc/rhn/rhn.conf |grep snapshot # system snapshots enabled enable_snapshots = 1 flipped to 0 and restarted satellite and see no noew snapshots being added to the page. moving to release pending.
