Considering the reason behind *this* activity (potential security), I think it's highly inappropriate to condition newbies into just saying yes. But I see that sort of advice all the time(*). They may have more the original repos, too. If one's going to say, "answer yes" to something, some should give much more information about what you should expect to say yes to (e.g. names of the keys, in this circumstance). Not just *some* keys. * Some commonly seen simplistic bad advice: yum clean all yum -y update rm'ing the RPM database Potentially destructive advice *needs* to give adequate information, and warnings. And brute force solutions shouldn't be offered as the first action. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
