Daryl, sorry but I haven't see your previus email, but the answer you 
get -> scp RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT from spacewalk it's another solution!

to better understand the file RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT generated during 
installation it's the CA key that you have to put on path:

/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT

on the other hand, instead of scp above file, you can install rpm 
rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-1.0-1.noarch.rpm that inside of it there are 
the same file RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT, so you can choose, usually on 
bootstrap script to use rpm or to use text file -> I prefer to use rpm 
on rpm systems (rhel, centos, suse...), but repeat if you have copied 
that file using scp is the same result!

best regards
Amedeo Salvati
