Seconded. Although we just reworked our procedures internally to work around this -- it was a pain in the butt before to have to track which department paid for what. All you had to go on was a big blob of 100 entitlements or whatever with no real idea which entitlements went to who. You _can_ use satellite to store something like a PO number with an individual system, but there's no integrated way to do any sort of tracking on entitlements alone so you have to track it on your own. :( Ray -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
