From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: Matt Davis of Red Hat found that the "--sslCACert" switch of "rhnreg_ks" is buggy: [root@erdos rhn]# cat up2date | grep sslCACert= sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT [root@erdos rhn]# /usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks --activationkey <###> --noSSLServerURL http://rhn.gatech.edu/XMLRPC --sslCACert /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT --serverUrl https://rhn.gatech.edu/XMLRPC [root@erdos rhn]# cat up2date | grep sslCACert= sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT; [root@erdos rhn]# ^ (Notice the semicolon at the end of the pathname.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-4.4.5.6-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Register a client with the satellite using the "--sslCACert" switch of "rhnreg_ks". 2. cat /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date | grep sslCACert= 3. Notice the semicolon at the end of the sslCACert pathname. Actual Results: /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date was incorrectly modified as follows: sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT; (Notice the semicolon at the end of the pathname.) Expected Results: sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT (No semicolon at the end of the pathname above in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date .) Additional info: This bug was first noticed because rhn-applet-gui could not connect to the satellite server. (Other config files got corrupted because of this uber-bug.)
