[Spacewalk-list] Problem importing GPG keys?

[Brandon Young]

Hi all.  I am in the process of setting up a Spacewalk 1.5 server and am
attempting to create a kickstart.  My channel setup looks something like:

Scientific Linux 6
    EPEL 6
    SL6 Fastbugs
    SL6 OS
    SL6 Updates
    SL6 With Tools
    Spacewalk Client

Where Scientific Linux 6 is the base channel, and everything else is a child
channel.

I noticed that the Spacewalk server reports that the kickstart fails, quite
consistently.  Upon closer inspection, I see that the reason it is failing
is because it is not importing some/all of the GPG keys associated with the
locally mirrored repos.  For example, looking at the History tab of the
kickstart event for a system, it tells me:
 Summary: Package Install scheduled by (none) Details: This action will be
executed after 08/10/11 9:30:45 AM CDT.

This action's status is: Failed.
The client picked up this action on 08/10/11 9:30:48 AM CDT.
The client completed this action on 08/10/11 9:32:12 AM CDT.
Client execution returned "Error while executing packages action: Refusing
to automatically import keys when running unattended. [[6]]" (code -1)
Packages Scheduled:

   - rhncfg-client
   - rhn-virtualization-host
   - rhncfg
   - rhncfg-actions

 Time: 08/10/11 9:30:45 AM CDT

I've also noticed this behavior when trying to schedule a package install
after kickstart.  Google doesn't come up with anything useful on this error.
 Poking around in the mailing list archives, I don't see anything similar
either, which leads me to believe I'm doing something silly.  I am aware
that I can edit /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf to 'gpgcheck=0' and
this problem stops, but that strikes me as the wrong way to resolve this
issue.  Can anyone give me pointers on a better way to resolve this problem?
 Am I possibly forgetting a step somewhere?  Is there a config setting that
affects this behavior?

I am happy to provide whatever command output or config settings necessary
in discovering the solution, I'm just not sure what info would be relevant
in getting started.

Thanks in advance.
