# line that says ". ./ya-errata-import.cfg"

# Set usernames and passwords. You have some options here:
# 1) Either define the environment variables here:
# export SPACEWALK_USER=my_username
# export SPACEWALK_PASS=my_passwd
# export RHN_USER=my_rhn_username
# export RHN_PASS=my_rhn_password
# 2) Set them on the commandline (but I don't recommend it)
# 3) Set them in a separate cfg file and source it (like done below)
