Distribute packages to other client machines using yum

Hi,

We have a 2 yum repository servers (2.6.18-92.el5 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) that are RHN registered and should receive the latest patch/packages. The servers are configured somehow that the new updates are not downloaded automatically which I guess is in the yum-updatesd.conf file

Code:

 
[root@jdcumgt01 yum]# more yum-updatesd.conf
[main]
# how often to check for new updates (in seconds)
run_interval = 3600
# how often to allow checking on request (in seconds)
updaterefresh = 600
# how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog)
emit_via = dbus
# should we listen via dbus to give out update information/check for
# new updates
dbus_listener = yes
# automatically install updates
do_update = no
# automatically download updates
do_download = no
# automatically download deps of updates
do_download_deps = no

When I run yum list updates command on jdcumgt02 server it lists the latest updates/packages

httpd.i386 2.2.353.el5_7.1 rhel-i386-server-5
httpd-manual.i386 2.2.3.53.el5_7.1 rhel-i386-server-5

When I run the same on the other server jdcumgt01 I get

Code:

file:///opt/localrepo/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/localrepo/repodata/repomd.xml'
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: localrepo. Please verify its path and try again

In the /etc/yum.repos.d directory the file localrepo.repo exists on jdcumgt01

Code:

 
[root@jdcumgt01 yum.repos.d]# more localrepo.repo
[localrepo]
name=Local update Configuration
baseurl=file:///opt/localrepo/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

What I would like some advise on is:

How do I fix this issue on jdcumgt01 server?

If I use the other server jdcumgt02 to update packages

How do I update the Apache software only on server jdcumgt02 and then update Apache on the rest of the Linux systems on the network?

Example - one server I would like to upgrade Apache on is currently configured

Quote:

[root@hostname yum.repos.d]# ls -l
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 164 Sep 29 2010 localproxy.repo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 561 Dec 14 2010 rhel-debuginfo.repo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 222 Dec 14 2010 rhel-source.repo
