3.3. Locale Preferences
The Your RHN # Locale Preferences page allows each user to tailor their RHN interface to the
local time and their preferred language. Select the appropriate timezone from the Time Zone
dropdown box, then click the Save Preferences button to apply the selection.
When the language preference is set to Use Browser Settings, RHN uses the language
preference from the user's browser (such as Firefox) to determine which language to use for
the web interface. When one of the listed languages is selected, the user sees the web interface
in that language each time they log in, regardless of their browser's settings. Choosing a
preferred language may be helpful for users traveling abroad. To select a default language, click
the radio button to the left of the appropriate language and click the Save Preferences button to
apply the change.
3.4. Subscription Management
To use all of the features of RHN, your systems must be entitled — subscribed to an RHN
service level. Use the System Entitlements page to configure which systems are entitled to
which service offerings. There are six primary types of entitlements:
• Update — manages a single Red Hat Enterprise Linux system. It includes Errata Alerts,
Scheduled Errata Updates, Package Installation, and the Red Hat Update Agent.
• Management — manages multiple systems with multiple system administrators. In addition to
the features of the Update offering, it includes system group management, user management,
and the System Set Manager interface to quickly perform actions on multiple systems.
• Provisioning — offers the highest level of functionality. It should be used to provision
multiple systems that will need to be re-installed and reconfigured regularly. The Provisioning
offering provides tools for kickstarting machines, managing their configuration files,
conducting snapshot rollbacks, and inputting searchable custom system information, as well
as all of the functionality included in the Management service level.
• Monitoring — monitors the health of multiple systems. The Monitoring offering provides
probes that watch system metrics and notify Administrators when changes occur. Such
notifications alert Administrators to system performance degradation before it becomes
critical.
• Virtualization — applies to virtual host systems. Virtual hosts with this entitlement may
register as many as four guest systems without violating RHN's Service Level Agreement.
Guest systems may be subscribed to any channel with the virtualization-free channel group
label without consuming channel entitlements. Subscribing a guest to any channel that does
