6.6.6.5.2.4. Configuration Channel Details
Files Create Directory —
Allows you to create a configuration directory within the interface. The fields resemble those on the
Upload and Create File subtab: Path is the absolute location of the directory on the system. The user,
group, and mode fields allow you to set the directory’s ownership and permissions. When finished,
click the Create Config Directory button.
6.6.6.5.3. Configuration Channel Details

Identifies the systems subscribed to this configuration channel. Clicking a system name takes you to
the System Details page.
6.6.6.5.4. Configuration Channel Details
Target Systems —
Displays all of the systems that have Provisioning entitlements but are not yet subscribed to this
config channel. To associate systems with the config channel, select their checkboxes and click the
button matching the rank to be assigned. Subscribe with Highest Rank will override all other config
channels, except local configs. Subscribe with Lowest Rank will rank this config channel below all
others. When done, the selected systems will appear in the Systems tab.
6.6.6.6. Configuration File Details —
If you click on the name or number of a file in a list, the Configuration File Details page will appear.
You may remove the file at anytime by clicking delete file in the upper-right corner of the page. This
page contains the following tabs:
6.6.6.6.1. Configuration File Details
Details —
General information about the file. This is the first tab you see when you click on a file. It displays
basic information about the file, including path, associated channel, revision, and date. It also provides
links to download, view and edit the file, as well as identify whether it is binary. Note that files larger
than 16 KB cannot be edited through the RHN website. In addition, you can define macros (variables)
here that will have different values interpolated when installed on various systems. Refer to Section
6.6.6.7 Including Macros in your Configuration Files for a full description of this feature.
6.6.6.6.2. Configuration File Details
Revisions —
A list of the revisions of this configuration file in the current config channel. Every change to a con-
figuration file creates a new revision of that file in the given config channel. The latest revision of a
configuration file is always the only one provided by that channel. Revision numbers for a file are tied
to a channel. So revision 3 of /etc/foo in config channel ’bar’ is completely independent of revision
3 of /etc/foo in config channel ’baz’. You can examine revisions in the list or use the Browse and
Upload File buttons to upload a more recent revision.
6.6.6.6.3. Configuration File Details
Diff —
A list of configuration files available for comparison. Click the name of the channel containing the
file, then the name of the file itself. A list of differences will appear.
