Disable the rhnsd Daemon
The rhnsd daemon polls the Red Hat Network web site for scheduled actions. Unless it is actually
necessary to schedule updates remotely through the RHN website, it is recommended that the service
be disabled.
# chkconfig rhnsd off
The rhnsd daemon is enabled by default, but until the system has been registered with the Red Hat
Network, it will not run. However, once the registration process is complete, the rhnsd daemon
will run in the background and periodically call the rhn check utility. It is the rhn check
utility that communicates with the Red Hat Network web site.
