[Spacewalk-list] Problem importing GPG keys?

[Brandon Young]

To everyone who responded, thank you.  I *was* missing a step in there and
assumed something magically automatic would take place.  I failed to import
the GPG keys to begin with, which meant they weren't there to deploy in the
kickstart.  Thanks to everyone for pointing this out.
