[Spacewalk-list] Using mrepo with Spacewalk 1.8

[Paul Brunck]

This is the way I understood it initially, but doesn't answer my first question.  Gensystemid will not work without this file: /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT.  I still don't know how I acquire the certificate.

"[root at server ~]# gensystemid -u xxx -p xxx --release=5Server --arch=x86_64 /var/satellite/mrepo/rhel-server-5/
ERROR: can not find RHNS CA file:: /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT"

If I try to sync it fails because there are no rhn ids for the directories I want to sync to, which is what I understand gensystemid is supposed to create.
