up2date includes code that understands yum servers.
Inspect the archives for setting up a yum server.
You can modify
/usr/share/rhn/services
and/or
/etc/yum.conf
to look at your local resource. It can be http or nfs.
Once the config files are set either up2date or yum can be used.
Of interest yum has a cron service script that is very value in such
cases.
chkconfig --list | grep yum
yum 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
By changing this to on (chkconfig yum on) for all your clients they
can update themselves. Just copy or link the rpm's to a famous
location and review the man page for yum-arch and run it in this
famous dir.
This can be automated with a management process and script.....
