4.2.4. Differentiating between Configuration Files
To view the differences between the config files deployed on the system and those stored by Red Hat Network, issue the command:
rhncfg-client diff
The output resembles the following:
[root@testsatellite root]# rhncfg-client diff --- /etc/test +++ /etc/test 2013-08-28 00:14:49.405152824 +1000 @@ -1 +1,2 @@ This is the first line +This is the second line added
In addition, you may include the
--topdir option to compare config files in Red Hat Network with those located in an arbitrary (and unused) location on the client system, like so:
[root@ root]# rhncfg-client diff --topdir /home/test/blah/ /usr/bin/diff: /home/test/blah/etc/example-config.txt: No such file or directory /usr/bin/diff: /home/test/blah/var/spool/aalib.rpm: No such file or directory
Where did the comment section go?
