warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6

Public key for fuse-devel-2.7.4-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm is not installed

I was getting the above when trying to install the FUSE software to get S3FS going on my RHEL4 server.  It appears this error isn’t uncommon with many different packages, so you may see a similar error, with the fuse-devel changed to the package you’re trying to install.

After doing a little research, I was able to find what I needed to get the key installed:

rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm

The link I found was actually for RHEL5, but I just changed those references to 4 and it installed the necessary settings.  I could then do the:

yum install fuse fuse-devel python-devel

And got it going.

Hope this helps someone out there.
