Description of problem: Check box "Disconnected RHN Satellite" located in tab: Admin -> RHN Satellite Configuration -> General has no effect. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite [541|550] How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a RHN Satellite [541|550] with "Disconnected RHN Satellite" unchecked. ===> Disconnected RHN Satellite -> Unchecked # grep server.satellite.rhn_parent /etc/rhn/rhn.conf server.satellite.rhn_parent = satellite.rhn.redhat.com server.satellite.rhn_parent = satellite.rhn.redhat.com 2. Go to tab Admin -> RHN Satellite Configuration -> General and check: "Disconnected RHN Satellite" ===> Disconnected RHN Satellite -> Checked 3. Restart Satellite # rhn-satellite restart Shutting down spacewalk services... Stopping RHN Taskomatic... Stopped RHN Taskomatic. Stopping cobbler daemon: [ OK ] Stopping rhn-search...

Actual results: # grep server.satellite.rhn_parent /etc/rhn/rhn.conf server.satellite.rhn_parent = satellite.rhn.redhat.com server.satellite.rhn_parent = satellite.rhn.redhat.com # satellite-sync -l 05:17:18 Red Hat Network Satellite - live synchronization 05:17:18 url: https://satellite.rhn.redhat.com 05:17:18 debug/output level: 1 05:17:19 db: rhnsat/<password>@//localhost:1521/rhnsat.world 05:17:19 05:17:19 Retrieving / parsing channel-families data 05:17:22 channel-families data complete 05:17:22 05:17:22 Retrieving / parsing product names data ^C User interrupted process. Expected results: The value of server.satellite.rhn_parent in /etc/rhn/rhn.conf is dismissed. satellite-sync does not work. Additional info:
I see the 'Disconnected RHN Satellite' box checked. # grep disconnected /etc/rhn/rhn.conf disconnected=1 After unchecking the ckeckbox I see grep disconnected /etc/rhn/rhn.conf disconnected=0 This issue does not seem to be in WebUI. Reseting to Satellite Synchronization component.
Fixed in spacewalk master by commit 1bf057e0c697c66c604287b9eba9a2b0e33969db 888378 - print nice error message in disconnected mode
