What I used to do in my 7.3 days was to install *everything* on one
server and configure it to keep the RPMs. I would run up2date on it,
download all of the new RPMs, and NFS export the rpm directory to my
other Red Hat 7.3 boxes. Then I would run rpm -Fvh *.rpm on the rest of
the desktops. After installing the new RPMs, I would then run up2date
-p on each box to re-sync with RHN.
That worked most if the time, except when a new packages was released
which changed the dependency requirements. Then I had to up2date each
box one at a time.

Hi Carl
Thanks for the reply :)
Yes..I know how to setup yum.. and infact I use apt-get for my most
rpm needs on my small Fedora box...but what I would like to know is
has anyone done that with Enterprise Linux setup because upon
purchasing ELs from RedHat,RedHat gives you an entitlement to receive
the updates from it RHN repository, I was thinking of setting up a
local repository because, we have many in number of RHEL boxes... and
to update them..we run up2date on all the boxes...and everytime they
connect to the internet/redhat network...which I want to avoid(may be
my bandwidth problem here).I just want to save some time (and money as
well...) so that whenever there is any need of new package or patch, I
would consider to fetch it from my local repository server instead of
going all the way to redhat network,
of the way..I have heard that we can use username/password
authentication..can that be seen here in yum (RHEL) to get the updates
from RHN..
may be someone from Redhat should answer it.. ?
