[Spacewalk-list] RE: Problems activating client

[Coe, Colin C. (Unix Engineer)]

Have a look at /root/ks-post.log.  The spacewalk SSL key should have been installed in /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT.

Also check /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date contains RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT not RHNS-CA-CERT.

Not sure what else to check.
