Rhn Bootstrap Options - Red Hat NETWORK 3.7 - CLIENT Configuration Manual

Chapter 5. Using RHN Bootstrap
cat bootstrap-EDITED-NAME.sh | ssh root@CLIENT_MACHINE1 /bin/bash
A less secure alternative is to use either
system. Log into each client machine and issue the following command, altering script and hostname
accordingly:
wget -qO- https://test.com/pub/bootstrap/bootstrap-EDITED-NAME.sh | /bin/bash
Or with, :
curl
curl -Sks https://test.com/pub/bootstrap/bootstrap-EDITED-NAME.sh | /bin/bash
When this script has been run on each client system, all should be configured to use the RHN Server.

descriptions of these options can be found within the following table, ensure they are available in the
