Updating The Configuration Files Manually - Red Hat NETWORK SATELLITE 5.3.0 - CLIENT Configuration Manual

Chapter 2. Client Applications
Figure 2.1. Red Hat Update Agent GUI Configuration
Make sure you enter the domain name of your RHN Satellite Server or RHN Proxy Server correctly.
Entering an incorrect domain or leaving the field blank may prevent up2date --configure from
launching. This may be resolved, however, by editing the value in the up2date configuration file.
Section 2.2.3, "Updating the Configuration Files Manually"
Refer to
Warning
Systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 or 4 have registration functionality built
into the Red Hat Update Agent and therefore do not install the Red Hat Network
Registration Client. Systems on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 do not use up2date, and
need rhn_register to register their systems to RHN or Satellite and yum and pup to
update their packages.

2.2.3. Updating the Configuration Files Manually

As an alternative to the GUI interface described in the previous section, users may also reconfigure
the Red Hat Update Agent by editing the application's configuration file.
To configure Red Hat Update Agent on the client systems connecting to the RHN Proxy Server or
RHN Satellite Server, edit the values of the serverURL and noSSLServerURL settings in the /etc/
sysconfig/rhn/up2date configuration file (as root). Replace the default Red Hat Network URL
