Sample RHN Satellite Configuration File
The /etc/rhn/rhn.conf configuration file for the RHN Satellite 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.
