RPM-PGP-KEY is a legacy entry from when RH used PGP to sign packages instead of GPG. PGP isn't Free Software. > What's the use of BETA-GPG-KEY? RedHat uses it to sign their betas. Such as Taroon-beta. Perhaps a different team hatches the betas and doesn't have access to the master release key. > Have you replaced all of them in whitebox? No, not in the rpm package. Whitebox keys are in whitebox-release and on the root directory of the CD-ROM images. > How did you do that? Make a key pair with GPG and copy the public key over the RedHat keys. -- John M. http://www.beau.org/~jmorris This post is 100% M$ Free!
