in RHN’s central configuration manager. Select the files to be diffed and click Analyze Differences.
• Config Channels — Set the subscription and rank of configuration channels that may be associated
with the system, lowest first. Enter numbers in the Rank fields to establish the order in which chan-

local configuration channel will always override all other channels for this system and therefore
cannot have its rank adjusted from 1. All other channels are created in the Manage Config Chan-
nels interface within the Channels category. Refer to Section 6.6.6 Manage Config Channels —
for instructions. When satisfied, click Update.
