RedHat 9 only utilities launched from command line
Copyrighted 2003 flw/Dan Last updated 08/22/03
You will need roots password for most or all of these functions. Utilities that are not RedHat specific are generally like KDE/Gnome/Wine apps are not included although I did include some misc. stuff. How to's that are already covered at this site are generally not discussed. So as a example if you want to know more about the command line, then go to the command line tutorial same for winmodems, VNC etc...
Note: Some of these will also work on some older versions but not all. The older the version, the less likely it will work.
Utiltities are as follows:
redhat-config-bind &, Configure Domain Name Service
redhat-config-date &, Set date, time zone
redhat-config-httpd &, Apache Web Server Administration
redhat-config-keyboard &, Configure keyboard type
redhat-config-kickstart &, Create automatic install script

redhat-config-rootpassword &, Set or change root password
redhat-config-samba &, Manage a Samba (SMB) server
redhat-config-securitylevel &, Configure firewall service
redhat-config-services &, Start, stop, and restart services.

Misc stuff
When installing Redhat it will ask if you want to create a "Boot Disk". You will say yes and create on. It like your spare tire. If you ever need it you'll be very glad you have it.
