I haven't had any luck.... How do you tell reposync the RHN
user/password to check for entitlements?
The server in question has to be entitled for the given channel. The
cobbler server must also
be RHEL5 (so it can use yum_rhn_plugin).
You'll see the core of this is essentially just
/usr/bin/reposync -r rhel-i386-server-5 --download_path=/tmp/foo
So that may prove easier for testing. Perhaps the server isn't entitled
for that channel?
Better tools need to exist -- no doubt -- surfr should be providing a
more comprehensive solution soon -- shortly after we get virt-factory
0.0.3 out of the way.

I didn't see it in his attachment, but Marc's referring to ...
cobbler repo add --name=foo --mirror=rhn://name-of-rhel5-channel
cobbler reposync
Which worked for me on several different machines, but not for Marc.
Other reports welcome...
