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)
