Chapter 1. Red Hat Network Overview
deployment of systems, including the configuration of the Red Hat Update Agent for each
system.
The
Red Hat Network Daemon
(
rhnsd
) runs in the background as a service and
probes the Red Hat Network for notifications and updates at set time intervals (see
Chapter 3
Red Hat Network Daemon
for further information). This daemon is necessary
in order to schedule updates or other actions through the website.
The
Red Hat Network Registration Client
allows you to register your Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 2.1 systems with RHN. (Newer versions of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux have registration functionality built into the
Red Hat Update Agent
.) See
Chapter 5
Red Hat Network Registration Client
for more information.
Many Red Hat Network terms are used throughout this manual. As you read the
Red Hat
Network Reference Guide
, refer to the
Glossary
as necessary for an explanation of common
terms.

The RHN Update service is ideal for a user with one Red Hat Enterprise Linux system or
a small number of Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. Updated Subscription to Update can

With each Update subscription, you receive the essential functionality provided to Demo
users, plus:
•
Easy ISOs — For customers who have purchased subscriptions to Red Hat Network,
ISO images are available for immediate download.
•
Priority Access during periods of high load — When Red Hat releases a large erratum,
users with Priority Access can be guaranteed that they will be able to access the updated
packages immediately.
•
RHN Support Access — All paying customers of Red Hat Network receive web based
support for their RHN questions.
•
Errata Notification, Multiple Systems — Subscriptions for multiple systems means Er-
rata notification for Errata to all of those systems. Note that only one email is distributed
per each Erratum, regardless of the number of systems affected.
•
Errata Updates, Multiple Systems — Get quick updates for multiple systems with an
easy button click for each system.
