rhncfg-client diff - socket.error: Unable to connect to the host and port specified
Issue
- Issue with processing the command:
rhncfg-client diff - This occurs in the morning at 07:00 hours.
- This is the moment that all the servers do the same check.
- They check if they have the same configuration as specified in the Satellite.
- On the client node we get the error message below:
