Description Šimon Lukašík 2011-03-15 16:26:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
During a satellite-sync of a big channel the session token may expire
and when it happens the underlying code treats it as a fault. In the
following commits the number of tolerated faults was decreased from
5 to 1. And as result satellite-sync crashes after the token expire.

echo 'networkRetries=1' >> /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
satellite-sync -c rhel-i386-server-5
