180 Chapter 8. UNIX Support Guide8.1.3. Included FeaturesThe following features are included in the UNIX support service level as they exist withinRHN:• The Red Hat Network Service Daemon (rhnsd), which triggers rhn_check accord-ing to a configurable interval• The Red Hat Network Configuration Client (rhncfg-client), which executes allconfiguration actions scheduled from the Satellite• The Red Hat Network Configuration Manager (rhncfg-manager), which allowscommand line administration of RHN configuration channels• The rhn_check program, which checks in with the Satellite and performs any actionsscheduled from the server• All Management-level functionality, such as system grouping, package profile compari-son, and use of the System Set Manager to administer multiple systems at once• A Provisioning feature called Remote Command that enables users to schedule root-levelcommands on any managed client through the Satellite’s website, if the client allows thisaction8.1.4. Differences in FunctionalityThe following RHN features work differently in a UNIX environment:• The Red Hat Update Agent for UNIX offers a much smaller set of options than itsLinux counterpart and relies upon the operating system’s native toolset for package in-stallation, rather than rpm - Refer to Section 8.4.2.3 Updating From the Command Linefor the precise list of options.• The RHN Push application has been similarly modified to upload native UNIX filetypes, including packages, patches, and patch clusters.Since Solaris package, patch and patch cluster files are different from RPM files, thechannel upload mechanism is somewhat different.There are two applications in therhnpush package for Solaris:• The first, solaris2mpm, is an RHN utility that create an MPM file for each Solarispackage or patch. The neutral format of th MPM file allows the Satellite to understandand manage the uploaded files.• The second, rhnpush, has been extended so that it can handle MOM as well as RPMfiles. Otherwise, it operates identically to the Linux version of rhnpush.
