1.1.2. Red Hat Network Configuration Client

As the name implies, the Red Hat Network Configuration Client (rhncfg-client) is installed and

The Red Hat Network Configuration Client offers these primary modes: list, get, channels, diff, and

1.1.2.1. Listing Config Files

To list the configuration files for the machine and the labels of the config channels containing them,

rhncfg-cli ent l ist

Config Channel File

config-channel-17 /etc/example-config.txt

config-channel-17 /var/spool/aalib.rpm

config-channel-14 /etc/rhn/rhn.conf

These are the configuration files that apply to your system. However, there may be duplicate files

present in the other channels. For example, issue the following command:

rhncfg-manager l ist config-channel-14

and observe the following output:
