Making bugzilla public. Public summary: Satellite installation script (install.pl) does not check the umask settings on server. So files created while installing packages like /etc/rhn/rhn.conf was not having default expected permissions so after installation satellite was not working normally. here should be check enabled in install.pl where umask setting should checked whether it is 022 or not.
Fixed in Spacewalk master, 7399c19e575795b715a6f5df070c97a6f4c1f7bc. We now check that the umask is 022 or smaller, and exit with code 56 if it is not.
