The Your Account page under the Your RHN category allows you to modify your personal
information, as well as set some RHN preferences. To modify any information on the Details
tab or the Addresses tab, change the information and click the Update button on the page.
If you want to change your Red Hat Network password (the one used to log into RHN and

Password and Password Confirmation text fields with your new password. You will not see
your password as you type it for security reasons. Click Update to change your password.

fications to, if you have selected to receive Errata Alert email for your systems under the
Preferences tab. To change your preferred email address, replace in on the Details page and
click Update .
The
Preferences
tab allows you to configure two Red Hat Network options:
•
Email notifications — Determine whether you want to receive email everytime an Errata
Alert is applicable to one or more systems in your RHN account.
•
Default page size — Maxium 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 preferences applies to system lists, Errata lists, package lists, and so on.
5.3.2. Entitlements
To use all of the features of RHN, your systems must be entitled — subscribed to a RHN
subscription service. Every user receives one free Red Hat Network Basic entitlement sub-
scription.
Use the
Entitlement Manager to configure which systems are entitled to which service of-
ferings. If you need to purchase additional entitlements, go to Your RHN => Buy Now from
the left navigation bar.
There are two types of entitlements, or service offerings:
•
Basic — should be used to manage a single Red Hat Linux system. It includes Errata
Alerts, Scheduled Errata Updates, Package Installation, and the Red Hat Update Agent .
•
Workgroup — should be used to manage multiple systems with multiple system admin-
istrators. In addition to the features of Basic, it includes system group management, user
management, and the System Set Manager interface to quickly perform actions on multi-
ple systems.
