[cisco-voip] CTL question

Only thing that changed has been publisher node. Subs are unchanged also.

Interestingly enough, I pulled a brand new 8945 out of box, changed the
config on one of the sets that wouldn't register on site, and plugged it in
here at my desk, and it loads up just fine. Waiting for them to get back
with one of the ones that wouldn't load up.

Here's the console log from one of the sets:
17:29:37, 06/07/2012 : CTLSEP20BBC0DFE737.tlv updating

17:29:37, 06/07/2012 : CTLSEP20BBC0DFE737.tlv updated successfully

17:29:37, 06/07/2012 : ITLSEP20BBC0DFE737.tlv updating

17:29:38, 06/07/2012 : ITLSEP20BBC0DFE737.tlv updated successfully

17:29:38, 06/07/2012 : CTL and ITL installed

ERROR: Authenticating configuration file SEP20BBC0DFE737.cnf.xml.sgn
