I really hope someone can help me (soon ) as I can't work out what I'm doing wrong and google is not helpful either.
Basically I have to setup 20 Dell servers with RHEL 4.8 (no, not 5, must be 4.8). Of course I have tftp and I'm trying to install them via nfs with kickstart and PXE. OS install is going fine until my bits in %post section of kickstart.
I need to install DELL OMSA using up2date. up2date requires interactive registration which I want to disable. On running system I can just use:
Code:
sed -e "9s/up2date/#up2date/" /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
and that disables RHN registration. But for some reason I can't disable RHN registration while in kickstart. sed is working fine (well, sed is making change but I think this change is in wrong place?), changes line but up2date still wants to register! Is up2date using different config file with sources? Is up2date swapping my file after sed makes changes? How can I use up2date with my yum repo from kickstart %post section?
Using rhn_register_ks is out of question as I don't have enough licenses at this moment.
Hi!
Is there any possibility to determine whether some Solaris machine has PXE enabled? I need some kind of a utility, which I could invoke remotely.
Thanks! (5 Replies)

Does anyone else think RHEL's way of getting software updates to their customers (via the up2date utility) is not a friendly process?
UP2DATE is fine to use, but it either has to be connected to the internet to get updates, or a "satellite server" has to be setup ( which ocsts more money).
And... (3 Replies)

rhnsd
UP2DATE(8) Red Hat, Inc. UP2DATE(8)NAME
rhnsd - a program for quering the Red Hat Network for updates and information
SYNOPSIS
rhnsd [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
rhnsd is a daemon process that runs in the background and periodically polls the Red Hat Network to see if there are any queued actions
available. If any are queued, it runs them.
rhnsd is typically started from the init scripts in /etc/init.d/rhnsd when it's time to poll the Red Hat Network servers for available
updates and actions. The default interval is every 120 minutes. The minimum polling interval is 60 minutes.
To check for updates, rhnsd runs an external program called rhn_check. This is a small application that actually makes the network connec-
tion to Red Hat Networks.
The rhnsd daemon does not listen on any network ports, nor does it ever talk to the network directly. Any network activity is done via the
rhn_check utility.
rhnsd can be configure by editing the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd config file. This is actually the configuration file the rhnsd init script
/etc/init.d/rhnsd uses.
-i, --interval
Specify the interval that rhnsd should wait between checking the Red Hat Network. Default is 120 minutes, the minimum is 60 minutes.
This can also be specified in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd
-v, --verbose
output more information about what rhnsd is doing.
-f, --foreground
force the rhnds process to run in the foreground instead of automatically backgrounding itself, as it does by default.
FILES
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd
Configuration settings for the rhnsd daemons init script.
/usr/sbin/rhn_check
The external program launched by rhnsd to connect to the Red Hat Network and retrieve any actions that have queued up.
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid
A certification that authenticates the client machine to the Red Hat Network. Generated via the up2date or rhnreg_ks utility.
