4.3.2. Your Preferences
The
Your Preferences
page allows you to configure Red Hat Network options, including:
•
Email Notifications — Determine whether you want to receive email every time an Errata Alert is
applicable to one or more systems in your RHN account.
Important
This setting also enables Management and Provisioning customers to receive a daily summary
of system events. These include actions affecting packages, such as scheduled Errata Updates,
and system reboots or failures to check in. In addition to selecting this checkbox, you must identify
each system to be included in this summary email. (By default, all Management and Provisioning
systems are included in the summary.) This can be done either through the System Details page
individually or through the System Set Manager interface for multiple systems at once. Note that
RHN will send these summaries only to verified email addresses. To disable all messages, simply
deselect this checkbox.
•
RHN List Page Size — Maximum number of items that will appear in a list on a single page. If more
items are in the list, clicking the Next button will display the next group of items. This preference
applies to system lists, Errata lists, package lists, and so on.
•
Time Zone — Set your time zone so that scheduled actions are scheduled according to the time in
your time zone.
•
Red Hat Contact Options — Identify what ways (email, phone, fax, or mail) Red Hat may contact
you.
After making changes to any of these options, click the Save Preferences button on the bottom right-
hand corner.
