A.2. Starting the Red Hat Network Registration Client
You must be root to register a system with RHN. If started by a standard users, the
Red Hat Network
Registration Client
prompts you to enter the root password before proceeding.
Important
If your username is part of a larger organizational account, be cautious when registering
your systems. By default, all systems registered with the
Red Hat Network Registration
Client
end up in the Ungrouped section of systems visible only to Satellite Administrators.
To ensure that you retain management of these systems, Red Hat recommends that your
organization create an activation key associated with a specific system group and grant
you permissions to that group. You may then register your systems using that activation
key and find those System Profiles within RHN immediately. Refer to
Section 4.5,
“Registering with Activation Keys”
for instructions.
