Appendix A. Sample RHN Satellite Server Configuration File

The /etc/rhn/rhn.conf configuration file for the RHN Satellite Server provides a means for you to establish key settings. Be warned, however, that errors inserted into this file may cause Satellite failures. So make configuration changes with caution.

You should be particularly concerned with the following parameters: traceback_mail, default_db, and server.satellite.http_proxy. Review the sample and its comments, beginning with a hash mark (#), for additional details.
