Andre,

I have now replaced those functions with their tempfile and os.path
counterparts. So once spacewalk-certs-tools-0.9.2-1 hits the nightly
repo, this dependency will no longer be needed.

I don't think we've ever released osad for CentOS 4. On RHEL 4, the
package is in RHN Tools channel.

Hope this helps,
