[rhn-users] Provide a security certificate.

[Pennington, John]

Sorry wasn't thinking, When I run

#rpm -V rhn-client-tools

I get this:

SM5....T c /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
.......T   /usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT

When I am running rhn_register, I have specified /usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT as the certificate when prompted for one. 

I then get an error saying that the certificate I have provided is not compatible with the red-hat network.

You are looking for the rhn-client-tools package, not rhn-quiet-tools.
This package includes the certificate you need to communicate with RHN
and it is stored in /usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT (this is the
certificate that should be pointed to in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date as
I mentioned before).
