Using Red Hat Network with Red Hat Linux 6.2 59
7 Using Red Hat Network with Red Hat
Linux 6.2
Red Hat Linux 6.2 shipped with a program named Red Hat Update Agent (
up2date
). However,
this version of Red Hat Update Agent can not be used to connect to Red Hat Network to receive
package updates. You need a new version of the
Red Hat Update Agent and the Red Hat Network
Registration Client
to use Red Hat Network on a Red Hat Linux 6.2 system.
To download and install these programs, use the following steps:
1. In a shell prompt, login as root and execute the command
mkdir rhnpackages
to create a
new directory in which to download the packages.
2. In the same shell prompt, execute the command
cd rhnpackages
to change to the new direc-
tory.
3. In a Web browser, download the necessary packages from http://www.redhat.com/network/ser-
vice/rhl_62.html.
4. Go back to the shell prompt in the
rhnpackages
directory (you must still be root) and execute
the command
rpm -Uvh *
to upgrade the exist Red Hat Update Agent to the version that works
with Red Hat Network. The Red Hat Network Registration Client will also be installed with this
command along with other packages your system needs to run the Red Hat Network programs.
5. After they are installed, run the Red Hat Network Registration Client (
rhn_register
) to
register your system. DO NOT enter a Product ID during the registration process. It is not required.
See Chapter 2, Registration for details.
