[rhn-users] up2date

I can't imagine they would be happy to have one paid/subscribed user dishing 
out free RPMs to people.

At the moment, I'm not using yum per se, but rather altered the 
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file so that up2date is set to point to yum dag 
http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/$ARCH/dag.
