[Spacewalk-list] Using mrepo with Spacewalk 1.8

[Jon Miller]

I too had the same problem of
missing /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT on my Spacewalk server. I
didn't try to answer this question earlier with my solution because I
suspected my solution was the wrong one, even though it worked for me. I
ended up copied from /var/www/html/pub/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT. I needed
to do that before any of my "rhnpush" commands would work.
