1. run up2date-config and uncheck "Use GPG to verify packages" or run 
up2date with --nosig as an option

2. Just run up2date again. AFAIK it won't download the packages again.

BTW there is no 0.95 channel. To keep up2date put the following line
in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources

yum rawhide http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/
