Thank you but I am still confused. I have entered the rhn information in mrepo.conf which does not make any difference if the cert is not present. The knowledge base link looks like a guide on how to create the cert to distribute to the systems which are registered to spacewalk once it is installed. I think these files already exist at http://servername/pub. I have tried installing that package but it does not help. What I am trying to do is use mrepo on the spacewalk server to create a channel that contains consistently updated rhel packages, so maybe the problem is that I am going about this the wrong way?
