or more client systems. For example, an action can be scheduled to update the kernel packages

on all the systems within a selected group.

Activation Key

RHN Management customers can generate activation keys through the RHN website. Each

unique key can then be used to register a RHL system, entitle the system to RHN Manage-

ment, subscribe the system to specific channels, and subscribe the system to RHN system groups

through the command line utility

rhnreg_ks

from the

rhn_register

package.

Channel

the x86 architecture make a base channel.

that pertains to a bug fix.

Bugzilla

Bugzilla is an online application (http://www.redhat.com/bugzilla) that allows users to commu-

nicate directly with the developers. From Bugzilla, users can submit bug reports and feature

requests for Red Hat Linux and related open source packages.

Channel

A channel is a list of Red Hat Linux packages. Channels are used to choose packages to be
