7.4.2.9.3. System Details � Configuration —
This tab and its subtabs, which do not appear without a Provisioning entitlement, assist in managing

Configuration
subtabs.
Note
To manage the configuration of a system, it must have the latest
rhncfg*
packages
installed. Refer to
Section 7.7.1, “Preparing Systems for Config Management”
for
instructions on enabling and disabling scheduled actions for a system.
This section is available to normal users with access to systems that have configuration management
enabled. Like software channels, configuration channels store files to be installed on systems. While
software updates are provided by RHN, configuration files are managed solely by you. Also unlike
software packages, various versions of configuration files may prove useful to a system at any given
time. Remember, only the latest version can be deployed.
