Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 499509
rhnsd on Solaris does not regularly check in with Satellite
Last modified: 2014-05-09 05:48:15 EDT
Description of problem: From my testing, I haven't been able to coax rhnsd into regularly checking in with Satellite. rhnsd loads and runs in the background successfully, but does not check in with the Satellite. I decided to run it in the foreground with this command: rhnsd -v -f -i 1 and, despite being set to check with the Satellite each minute, no checkins were made. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 530, 5/1 build rhn-solaris-bootstrap-5.3.0-8-sparc-sol10.tar.gz output from pkginfo: utility RHATossl openssl 0.9.7a utility RHATpossl pyOpenSSL 0.6 utility RHATpythn python 2.4.1 utility RHATrcfg rhncfg 5.1.0 utility RHATrcfga rhncfg-actions 5.1.0 utility RHATrcfgc rhncfg-client 5.1.0 utility RHATrcfgm rhncfg-management 5.1.0 utility RHATrhnc rhnclient 5.3.0 utility RHATrhnl rhnlib 1.8 utility RHATrpush rhnpush 5.3.1 utility RHATsmart smartpm 5.3.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Register a Solaris system to a 530 Satellite 2. Load the SDC for the system 3. kill -9 any running rhnsd process 4. Run: rhnsd -v -f -i 1 5. Reload SDC periodically over the next several minutes Actual results: No checkins Expected results: Solaris machine checks in each minute via rhnsd Additional info:
Steve, please change the interval to 10 minutes and then check after an hour. Also, attach the Apache log files to see if the request is ever made.
Ran: # rhnsd -f -i 10 -v on the Solaris 10 machine. Despite applying the -v option, syslog had no entries from rhnsd. From what I was able to ascertain, no calls were made to the Satellite XMLRPC handler from the Solaris box. I've attached all associated Apache logfiles for your consideration as well.
Steve - choosing not to address this within 530 cycles for Solaris client. Expect this is not a regression and not sure when this was last confirmed and known to work. rhnsd code is very static in nature. Cliff
