However gensystemid fails because /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT is not present. It's not clear to me where I get this cert, whether it is included with an official rhel install, or if it is pulled in after using rhn_register, or if this the "key" per se that you purchase with the Satellite product that allows you to mirror?  Thank you in advance for any help.
