Error when trying to activate a new satellite certificate:
# rhn-satellite-activate --rhn-cert <sat cert filename> NOTE: using backup cert as default: /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn-entitlement-cert.xml RHN_PARENT: satellite.rhn.redhat.com Pushing scout configs to all monitoring scouts Population of the Channel Family permissions failed.
