[Spacewalk-list] Problem with activation key and kickstart

Hi list :)

I've got a small problem with my activation key when kickstarting virtual
machines.

My key, and only key, is called "1-centos6-x64". I only have that key, and
it's universal.

However, when I provision VMs with koan, the clients automatically register
to spacewalk, but they aren't properly registered to my
channels/repositories.

When I check my kickstart file, I see something strange, there are actually
TWO keys!

key=*1-cb1705dc1caf00069d949e2cb25c88aa*,1-centos6-x64


Where is this long key coming from? I can't find any mention of this key
when checking the webgui.


When I manually register the clients with the following command:

rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://space.intra.lab/XMLRPC
--sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
--activationkey=1-centos6-x64

...they finally get the proper repos... but this is tedious, I wish I could
understand what's wrong with the weird key in my kickstart file.

Any ideas?

Cheers
