[rhn-users] rpms and NOKEY error when not using up2date

[John Coroneus]

I hope this gets put to the right thread:

>> Hi all,

I want to update these with rpms, but up2date on these machines has no direct access to the internet, so I've been downloading the rpms via the up2date on the server, then copying them down to the other machines and installing them using rpm -Fvh.  This works for some packages, but I've been getting a lot of NOKEY errors and packages not installing.

After copying the rpm to the workstation, I run (as root):

[root at raid]# rpm -Fvv openssh-3.6.1p2-33.30.1.i386.rpm

with the output:
