unknown GPG signature and up2date problems

[Gregory E. Garland]

It has taken me three hours to finally install the latest RH updates. First of all every single update gets the error message pop up that states "The package .... is signed with an unknown GPG signature. Continue?". This is combined with the fact that up2date repeatedly hangs will trying to download the updates. The only option is to kill the up2date processes and restart, repeatedly mouse through the "unknown GPG signature" messages, and wait until the next of dozens of times the download freezes. Then kill it again, restart, blah-blah... its almost enough to praise Microsoft for distributing quality software. This occurs on an RHEL ES4 system running the AMD64 version of RH. The computer 3 feet to the left running RHEL WS4 on a 32 bit system always updates with no problem.
