Changes to Red Hat Linux distribution 6.2
The Linux version installed on the appliance is based on a "Server" installation of
Red Hat Linux 6.2. The Red Hat installer defines several groups of RPMs (RPM
Package Manager) that may be installed when a "Server" installation is selected.
The groups that are not needed for the appliance are removed:
Printer Support
Dialup Workstation
Network Server
NFS Server
SMB (Samba) Server
IPX*/Netware* Connectivity
Anonymous FTP Server (This has been replaced with Intel's FTP service,
based on wu-ftpd.
Web Server (This has been replaced with Intel's custom version of Apache
which includes PHP, and SSL support.)
DNS Name Server
Postgres (SQL) Server
Network Management Workstation
Modifications have also been made to several installed RPMs that provide base
functionality:
The kernel was updated from version 2.2.14 to 2.2.16. The kernel was
also patched to enable graceful shutdown of the operating system from
the power button.
The Red Hat-release RPM was replaced with Intel's NetStructure-release
RPM. This replaces the default Red Hat login prompt with Intel's.
The setup-2.1.8-1 RPM was patched to set the default mailbox path for
users.
The initscripts-5.00-1 RPM was patched to support console redirection to
the serial port.
Both the sysklogd and logrotate RPMs have been patched with
NetStructure1010/1020 specific configuration files (these are now called
Nssysklogd and Nslogrotate)
Sendmail has been patched with NetStructure1010/1020 specific
configuration files (the files are now called NSSendmail and NSSendmail-
cf)
ucd-snmp has been patched with NetStructure1010/1020 specific
configuration files (the file is now called NSucd-snmp)
webalizer has been patched with NetStructure1010/1020 specific
configuration files (the file is now called NSwebalizer)
