Description of problem: Osad stop working when client is registered for the second time Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sat530 or sat540 this is not regression How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. register client into satellite 2. start osad, make sure it works, it create some log in auth info in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth.conf 3. register again the same client into same satellite 4. restart osad or wait Actual results: osad is not working 2010-12-20 07:22:54 osad_client._check_signature: Signatures do not match 250d3751e67a9bd1714838487103aff38143bf26 264cbfff622762737a03513ad72d0116dc53ce38 2010-12-20 07:22:54 jabber_lib.main: Sleeping 107 seconds Expected results: /etc/init.d/osad restart should regenerated auth info by deleting osad-auth.conf. Additional info: osad takes auth info from /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth.conf When I delete this file + osad restart then it starts working
or it could write some info message about removing/checking osad-auth.conf in log file
Indeed, we are seeing the same thing at another client site that is using RHN Satellite 5.4.1. Deleting the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth.conf file worked.
