Hi List,
Red Hat is moving to a new, "certificate-based" registration system.
They are doing away with rhn_register and moving to
subscription-manager.
Here is a trivial but possibly useful snippet which we have saved as
/var/lib/cobbler/snippets/install-puppet:
# Subscribe (register) the system
subscription-manager register --autosubscribe --username=XXXXXXX
--password=XXXXXXXXXX
# Add what used to be called channels
yum -y install yum-utils
yum-config-manager --enable rhel-6-server-optional-rpms
yum-config-manager --enable rhel-6-server-supplementary
I don't know the process for adding it to the cobbler github project,
and I'd want to make the username and password into settings rather
than having them hard coded, but I am open to doing that work and
adding it if it is wanted.
Regards,
Jim
