Chapter 1:What is Red Hat Network?
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 6, Red Hat Network Daemon
for further information).
Many Red Hat Network terms are used throughout this manual. As you read the Red Hat Network
User Reference Guide, refer to the Glossary as necessary for explanation of common terms.
1.1 Software Manager
