Hi,

The Spacewalk trac has a section on creating a GPG key here:

https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/CertCreation

It says to modify web.gpg_keyring in /etc/rhn/default/rhn_web.conf to point to a different keyring than the default of /etc/webapp-keyring.gpg

I went to take a look at what is in /etc/webapp-keyring.gpg on a newly-installed Spacewalk server and I see:

gpg --list-keys --no-default-keyring --keyring /etc/webapp-keyring.gpg
gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/ksta/.gnupg/gpg.conf'
/etc/webapp-keyring.gpg

If I modify web.gpg_keyring in /etc/rhn/default/rhn_web.conf to point to a different keyring than the default of /etc/webapp-keyring.gpg will it stop using those keys and if so will doing that have any adverse effects?

Thank you,
Ken
