[rhn-users] How does the Schedule feature in RHN work?

[Kay Williams]

Got it.  I had everything set up correctly, but needed to be more
patient.  Here is what I learned -
 
The client-side RHNSD checks for scheduled updates at a period specified
by the "interval" directive in the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd
configuration file.  Mine was set at 
 
          INTERVAL=240
 
which is 240 minutes, or 4 hours.  Fortunately, I also found the
rhn_check utility which forces rhnsd to immediately check for and apply
scheduled updates.  This is all documented under "Red Hat Network
Daemon" in the Red Hat Network 3.3 Update Reference Guide.

Hello - 
 
I would like to enable scheduled package installations on a red hat
system which is behind an internet gateway/router in a home environment.
How do I set this up?  The system is entitled and receives
client-initiated updates without fail.  I have followed the basic steps
from the RHN UI, but scheduled actions appear to be in limbo.  Is there
some action I must take at the gateway to support this - e.g. enable SSL
port forwarding from the gateway to the red hat system?   
 
Any information about how to get this working, or technical information
about how the schedule feature of RHN works would be appreciated.
