RedHat Linux Automatic Updates

Hi All,

we have about 50 RedHat Linux servers (v4.x, 5.x), now we planing to configure those servers to get updates(service packs, security patches...etc) automatically. whats is the best practises to do this.

we also have SLES servers and we use Novell's SMT tool to get updates, we configured one server as central repositary to connect to novell site to get updates. then client servers connet to central repositary to get updates. That way all servers get updated.

we are looking that kind of method to update redhat servers. Any one please advice. Thanks.
