thanks for the quick response Brian. the funny thing about all of this is that that was the pkg i was trying to install LOL... now i did manually install it with yum on the sat server itself but i did not install it on the client yet . does it have to be on both of them for the update to work from the sat server? i will yum it on the clients tomorrow and see if that fixes it.
once again, thanks for your input it is highly appreciated :-D On Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 5:50 PM, Brian Collins <[email protected]> wrote: > Yep.
