Changes to Red Hat Linux distribution 6.2
The Linux version installed on the appliance is based on a "Server" installation of
Red Hat Linux 6.2. The Red Hat installer defines several groups of RPMs (RPM
Package Manager) that may be installed when a "Server" installation is selected.
The groups that are not needed for the appliance are removed:
• Printer Support
• Dialup Workstation
• Network Server
• NFS Server
• SMB (Samba) Server
• IPX*/Netware* Connectivity
• Anonymous FTP Server (This has been replaced with Intel's FTP service,
based on wu-ftpd.
• Web Server (This has been replaced with Intel's custom version of Apache
which includes PHP, and SSL support.)
• DNS Name Server
• Postgres (SQL) Server
• Network Management Workstation
Modifications have also been made to several installed RPMs that provide base
functionality:
• The kernel was updated from version 2.2.14 to 2.2.16. The kernel was
also patched to enable graceful shutdown of the operating system from
the power button.
• The Red Hat-release RPM was replaced with Intel's NetStructure-release
RPM. This replaces the default Red Hat login prompt with Intel's.
• The setup-2.1.8-1 RPM was patched to set the default mailbox path for
users.
• The initscripts-5.00-1 RPM was patched to support console redirection to
the serial port.
• Both the sysklogd and logrotate RPMs have been patched with
NetStructure1010/1020 specific configuration files (these are now called
Nssysklogd and Nslogrotate)
• Sendmail has been patched with NetStructure1010/1020 specific
configuration files (the files are now called NSSendmail and NSSendmail-
cf)
• ucd-snmp has been patched with NetStructure1010/1020 specific
configuration files (the file is now called NSucd-snmp)
• webalizer has been patched with NetStructure1010/1020 specific
configuration files (the file is now called NSwebalizer)
