Digital Certificate
A client component in XML format that is stored in the
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid
file on registered systems. Red Hat Network verifies this certificate to authenticate the registered
system before each connection. This certificate is issued by Red Hat and passed to the system
as part of the registration process. It includes unique information about the registered system to
avoid fraudulent use.

cations option is selected, notifications are sent for every Red Hat Network Errata Alert . The
email includes the type of Errata Alert, summary of the Errata, description of the Errata, and a
list of which systems are affected by the report.

An Errata Alert that pertains to a package enhancement request.
Entitled Server
A server that is subscribed to Software Manager . Because the server is entitled, the Software
Manager interface can be used to manage its packages.
Errata
Information published by Red Hat describing security fixes, bug fixes, and package enhance-
ments for Red Hat Linux. The information includes the topics of the Errata, Bugzilla bug IDs,
relevant releases/architectures, solutions including required RPMs, and MD5 checksums for
verification. Errata are also available at http://www.redhat.com/errata/. Each RHN Errata Alert
is based on the Red Hat Linux Errata List.
Security issues and bug fixes are submitted by Red Hat engineers as well as the Linux com-
munity through Bugzilla which generates a bug report for each issue. Red Hat engineering
evaluates the reports, resolves the bug, and generates new RPM packages. After the Red Hat
quality assurance team tests new packages they are placed on the Red Hat Public File Server
and on the Red Hat Network Server and an Errata is generated.
