Introduction
Welcome to the
Red Hat Network Management Reference Guide 2.9
.
The
Red Hat Network Management Reference Guide
will guide you through registering your system
for Red Hat Network and using its many features. Depending on which version of Red Hat Linux you
have installed, the
Red Hat Network Registration Client
and the
Red Hat Update Agent
might be
different than the ones described in this manual as new features are added. Once you use Red Hat
Network to update these applications, you can use the latest version of this manual.
All
versions
of
this
manual
are
available
in
HTML
and
formats
at
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/RHNetwork/.
This version of the manual covers version 3.0.7 of the
Red Hat Update Agent
and version 2.8.27-34
of the
Red Hat Network Registration Client
.
Warning
Systems running Red Hat Linux 6.2 through 7.3 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 will need to use the
separate
Red Hat Network Registration Client
before starting the
Red Hat Update Agent
. Refer
to Chapter 7
Red Hat Network Registration Client
for instructions. Systems running Red Hat Linux
8.0 or newer can go directly to the
Red Hat Update Agent
, which has registration functionality built
in. Refer to Chapter 2
Red Hat Update Agent
for instructions.
For a technical overview of Red Hat Network, please refer to the whitepapers available at
http://www.redhat.com/docs/wp/.
For an interactive demo of RHN, go to http://rhn.redhat.com/demo/rhn_demo.html. It requires the
Macromedia Flash player.
1. Document Conventions
When you read this manual, certain words are represented in different fonts, typefaces, sizes, and
weights. This highlighting is systematic; different words are represented in the same style to indicate
their inclusion in a specific category. The types of words that are represented this way include the
following:
command
Linux commands (and other operating system commands, when used) are represented this way.
This style should indicate to you that you can type the word or phrase on the command line
and press [Enter] to invoke a command. Sometimes a command contains words that would be
displayed in a different style on their own (such as file names). In these cases, they are considered
to be part of the command, so the entire phrase is displayed as a command. For example:
Use the
cat testfile
command to view the contents of a file, named
testfile
, in the current
working directory.
file name
File names, directory names, paths, and RPM package names are represented this way. This style
should indicate that a particular file or directory exists by that name on your system. Examples:
The
.bashrc
file in your home directory contains bash shell definitions and aliases for your own
use.
The
/etc/fstab
file contains information about different system devices and file systems.
