Description of problem: After kickstarting a system to rhel3/4 from RHN Satellite v540, in / etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date noSSLServerURL points to xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com instead of pointing to local satellite from which it was kickstarted Checking the kickstart files %post section we can see: For RHEL4 kickstart on satellite V5.2: perl-NPE 's/xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/rhnold1g.bserv1.local /'-i / etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date For RHEL4 kickstart on satellite V5.4: perl-NPE 's | ^ (\ s * serverURL \ s *= \ s *[^:]+://)[^/]*/|${ rhnsat1g.bserv1.local 1} / |'-i / etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHN Satellite v540 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a kickstart profile with base channel selected as RHEL4 2.Kickstart a system 3.Check noSSLServerURL in up2date file Actual results: noSSLServerURL=http://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC Expected results: noSSLServerURL=http://satellite.fqdn/XMLRPC

The problem was introduced by the fix for bug 576211.
Paresh, my proposed patch would be: --- a/java/code/src/com/redhat/rhn/manager/kickstart/KickstartFormatter.java +++ b/java/code/src/com/redhat/rhn/manager/kickstart/KickstartFormatter.java @@ -639,12 +639,12 @@ public class KickstartFormatter { log.debug("adding perl -npe for /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date"); if (this.ksdata.isRhel2()) { - retval.append("perl -npe 's|^(\\s*serverURL\\s*=\\s*[^:]+://)[^/]*/|${1}" + + retval.append("perl -npe 's|^(\\s*(noSSLS|s)erverURL\\s*=\\s*[^:]+://)[^/]*/|${1}" + up2datehost + "/|' -i /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn_register" + NEWLINE); } // both rhel 2 and rhel3/4 need the following - retval.append("perl -npe 's|^(\\s*serverURL\\s*=\\s*[^:]+://)[^/]*/|\\${1}" + + retval.append("perl -npe 's|^(\\s*(noSSLS|s)erverURL\\s*=\\s*[^:]+://)[^/]*/|\\${1}" + up2datehost + "/|' -i /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date" + NEWLINE); to avoid any more checks for RHEL veersions. Does it sound reasonable?
Patch from comment 5 committed to upstream, Spacewalk master, 3241e638f6f406ec6ebfb4e5b30d59a4bdc0a232, to give it some exposure.
yes. It looks better than what I proposed and serves the purpose. thnx!
Checkstyle fix in Spacewalk master, 34daa81f1bb843a72b18f4b897da4e2f71ae9248.
Verified in stage w/ spacewalk-java-1.2.39-82 -> release pending.
