Full Discussion: RHEL 4 up2date

Download your updates on one server. They get downloaded to /var/spool/up2date. Each package has .hdr and .rpm file. Once done, copy files over to your other servers (or to some network share).

Then run
Code:
up2date -k 
or 
up2date --packagedir

There is a way to edit etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources and point it to /your/local/directory, but I'm not sure how "exactly" to do that.

HTH,
Nitin
