[AG-TECH] Problem Managing Node

Well, I'm now pretty well convinced that it is certificate-related.  I
installed and configured AG2 on a WinXP box and see both the Globus &
ANL CA certs.  Node management works and I can navigate around the ANL
venues.

So, I exported the 2 CA certs and tried to import them into the Fedora
machine, but it complains that it needs the signing_policy file for each
CA.  How do I go about getting these?  Is there something fundamentally
wrong here?  Aren't the Globus & ANL CA certs pre-installed in the AGTk
software?  Should I try re-installing the Fedora-specific RPMs?

Thanks,

Mike
