rhn-quiet-tools.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>This package includes the certificate you need to
communicate with RHN and it is stored in /usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT (this is

<p class=MsoNormal>I don't remember needing a security certificate to run
rhn_register for any version of RHEL5 (5.1, 5.2, 5.3, not using 5.4 yet), did
you do a default install or customize it?<br>
<br>
What is the exact command you are typing and the exact response from the
computer?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
