I dont see why it wouldnt be possible. I have a similar setup except using an Oracle Enterprise Linux yum server that pulls the updates, which is sync'd to the Spacewalk server. The only issue i've had has been the yum repo and spacewalk pulling packages at the same time that made for some broken metadata (lazy usage of cron.daily :) .
As its all unsupported, the OEL errata isnt present in Spacewalk, but the clients seem to manage away fine. Not as much a solution, but your not alone in your setup!

I guess I'll have to use RHN to manage our Redhat boxes and Spacewalk for our CentOS boxes. Which is doable, just would be nice to have one central place to manage all our boxes. -----Original Message----- From: Jet Wilda Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2010 3:10 PM Hi, I have spacewalk 1.1 setup and I have a local mirror via rhnget of the RHN channel rhel-x86_64-server-5 that I then spacewalk-repo-sync into our spacewalk server. I have a test server that has Redhat 5.1 on it that was registered on RHN that I switched to our spacewalk server. However when the System is registered to RHN it shows 458 packages that need to be updated, but when I register it with our spacewalk server it only shows 285 packages that need to be updated. i.e. What RHN shows: Errata Packages System Base Channel 966 458 testserver Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 for 64-bit x86_64) What Spacewalk shows: System Errata Packages Configs Base Channel testserver 0 285 0 rhel 5 - Base - x86_64 The channel on the spacewalk server shows the same number of packages as the corresponding channel in RHN. Is it because I haven't imported the errata? Or what else could cause this?
