Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2010:0201 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE sosreport bug fix and enhancement update 2010-03-29 12:26:44 UTC

Description Thomas Cameron 2009-09-14 16:20:59 UTC
Description of problem:
Just installed RHN Satellite 5.3 on one of my servers.  As part of the installation, it created install media for all of RHEL 3, 5 and 5, 32- and 64-bit, in /tftpboot.  sosreport includes all of the content in /tftpboot and the sospreport I created went from 5-6 megs to almost a gig.  Perhaps we should no longer include the contents of /tftpboot?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sos-1.7-9.27.el5

How reproducible:
Install RHN Satellite 5.3
Run sosreport

Actual results:
sosreport output is about a gigabyte.

Expected results:
sosreport output should be less than 10 megs.
