SMClibgcc and SMCosslg may also be included in the tarball.
2.1.3.1.4 . Installing the Red Hat Net work Packages
Change to the uncompressed directory and use the UNIX variant's native installation tool to install each
package. For example, on Solaris, use the pkgadd command. Answer "yes" to any prompts during
package install.
Here is how a typical installation might proceed:
# pkgadd -d RHATpossl-0.6-1.p24.6.pkg all
# pkgadd -d RHATpythn-2.4.1-2.rhn.4.sol9.pkg all
# pkgadd -d RHATrhnl-1.8-7.p23.pkg all
...
Note
Use the -n option for pkgadd to run the command in non-interactive mode. However, this may
cause the installation of some packages to fail silently on Solaris 10.
Continue until each package is installed in the Red Hat Network-specific path:
/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/.
2.1.3.1.5. Including Red Hat Network Packages in t he PATH
In order to make the Red Hat Network packages available at each login, you may wish to add them to
your PATH. To do so, add these commands to your login script:
# PATH=$PATH:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/bin
# PATH=$PATH:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/usr/bin
# PATH=$PATH:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/usr/sbin
# export PATH
To enable access to the Red Hat Network client command man pages, add them to your MANPATH. T o
do so, add the following commands to your login script:
# MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/man
# export MANPATH
Alternatively, you can also access the man pages from the command line, with the following command:
# man -M /opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/man <man page>
Finally, add the Red Hat Libraries to your PATH as you did with libgcc, openssl and zlib.
crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l <current library paths>:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/lib
2.1.3.2. Deploying Client SSL Cert ificates
To ensure secure data transfer, Red Hat strongly recommends the use of SSL. The Red Hat Satellite
eases implementation of SSL by generating the necessary certificates during its installation. T he server-
side certificate is automatically installed on the Satellite itself, while the client certificate is placed in the
/pub/ directory of the Satellite's Web server.
