the address of the central RHN server at Red Hat with our own satellite server, 

as shown in Figure A 7. After we OK this application the Red Hat Network 

Update agent (

up2date

) is started. After the welcome screen we can log onto the 

satellite server. In Figure A 8 on page 172 we do this using the user we added in 

 Add a user  on page 169. 

In the next screen the profile name for the system is input and indicates how 

much information up2date can send to the server; see Figure A 9 on page 173. 

In the next screen, shown in Figure A 10 on page 174, we indicate which 

installed packages to send to the server. The server needs this information to 

determine which errata are relevant for this system.

Checking the server, we see in Figure A 11 on page 175 that the system 

client1

has been added to the server. This process of connecting a system to the 

satellite server can be automated using the commands 

rhn_register

 and 

up2date

.
