Hello Philippe, I also met this issue, and was not successful in finding a solution - so I watch for input with interest. My workaround was to issue the curl|bash bootstrap method, running as root from the individual machines. As I was migrating from spacewalk, it was fairly straightforward to do this for many machines using Spacewalk's remote commands.

However, I can't find any documentation regarding this. This link https://www.uyuni-project.org/uyuni-docs/uyuni/client-configuration/contact-... only seems to apply for bootstrapping through ssh.

From what I can see, this unprivileged user would need write/read permissions on /etc/yum.repo.d, /etc/apt/sources.list.d or /etc/zypp depending of the OS, and permissions to execute yum/apt/zypper commands. And I guess some extra configurations needed as the Uyuni server will sudo the commands.

Does somebody already worked on this ? Regards, Philippe. Philippe Bidault | Unix Engineer Getronics ________________________________ M. 34617301667 | E.
