Yum problem on F10

Apologies in advance if this gets through twice - I posted this about 
24 hours ago, have not yet seen it on the list, and just got a bounce 
message, so I assume that the first try won't get through.
------

I have three machines on which I installed f10 about 2 weeks ago.  
Two of them are identical as to hardware and the other is a bit larger 
and faster. All are x86_64 machines previously running fedora 7, 8, or 
9.

On two of the machines I wiped the drive on which I installed /,
/tmp, /usr, and /var, and on the third (the 'larger' machine) I added a 
new 1TB drive to hold those (plus other things).

The install - using the same install DVD - went smoothly on all 3 of 
them.

However, on two of the machines (one of the twins and the "larger" box) 
yum works just fine.  On the third - which according to "rpm -qa" has 
exactly the same packages installed - yum fails every time with a 
message "public key for <rpm name> is not installed".

Obviously I have hosed up something here on that third machine, but I 
haven't found it yet and it's driving me batty.  I have gone through
documentation until I'm going blind without picking up a clue.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Feel free to write me 
privately if you prefer and I'll summarize for the list later.

Thanks
- wwa
