Like the options within the System Details Channels Configuration tab, the subtabs here can
be used to subscribe the selected systems to configuration channels and deploy and compare the

interface within the Channels category. Refer to Section 7.7.2, "Overview"
for channel creation
instructions.
Section 7.7.1,
To manage the configuration of a system, install the latest rhncfg* packages. Refer to
"Preparing Systems for Config Management"
for instructions on enabling and disabling scheduled
actions for a system.

Use this subtab to distribute configuration files from your central repository on RHN to each of the
