Depending upon which Red Hat Network service is used, there are two different mechanisms for uploading packages to private channels.

Customers of RHN Proxy Server use the RHN Package Manager application, which sends package header information to the central Red Hat Network Servers and places the package itself into the local repository of the Proxy that invoked RHN Package Manager.

Customers of RHN Satellite Server use the RHN Push application, which sends package header information to the local RHN Satellite Server and places the package into the local repository of the Satellite that invoked RHN Push.

This chapter discusses both of these tools in detail.
