Chapter 8:Frequently Asked Questions
A: Security is a high priority for Red Hat Network. Please see the security & privacy documentation
for more information.
Q: I can’t find the Red Hat Network Registration Client. What is it and where do I find it?
A: The Red Hat Network Registration Client steps you through the process of creating a user account
if you do not already have one and registering your system by creating a System Profile. It can be
started by using one of the following methods:
1. In GNOME desktop, go to the
Main Menu Button
(on the Panel) =>
Programs
=>
System
=>
RHN Registration
2. In KDE desktop, go to the
Main Menu Button
(on the Panel) =>
Red Hat
=>
System
=>
RHN
Registration
3.
Type the command
rhn_register
at a shell prompt (for example an xterm or gnome-terminal)
Q: I downloaded just the RPM files and installed them myself. Can I update my System Profile to
reflect the changes?
A: Yes. Type the command
up2date -p
at a shell prompt. It will update your RPM package list
stored on the Red Hat Network servers. Use this command whenever you install, upgrade, or remove
packages without using the Red Hat Update Agent.
Q: I forgot my username and password. How do I access my account?
A: Go to http://www.redhat.com/network. In the Member Login section is a
Forgot Your Password
link. Click the link and complete the form. Your password will be sent to your email address. If this
does not work for you, please call our customer service desk.
Q: Will Red Hat Network update packages that were not installed with the Red Hat distribution?
A: No. Red Hat Network currently supports all RPM packages installed from the Red Hat Linux CD,
Red Hat PowerTools CD, and the Red Hat Linux Applications CD.
Q: What version of Red Hat Linux do I have to run to be able to use Red Hat Network and Software
Manager?
A: You must be running Red Hat Linux 6.2, Red Hat Linux 7, or above.
Q: Why is something called
rhnsd
running on my system and what does it do?
A:
rhnsd
is the Red Hat Network Daemon. Every thirty minutes, it sends a request to Red Hat
Network asking for any notifications or updates and works in coordination with the Red Hat Network
to schedule automated tasks. It only sends information to Red Hat Network requested by you. If
you add a new system through the Web, the next time the Red Hat Network Daemon probes Red Hat
Network it receives a request to return the information you requested as part of your System Profile
such as what package versions are installed on your system.
