Just mirror a redhat updates site to a local ftp or nfs server. When you
want to update everything, just pull down the rpms, and rpm -Fvh *.rpm.
I normally do the kernel*.rpm's separately.
i don't trust redhat, or any vendor, to decide what needs to be updated on
my box. and if someone hacks RHN....well... not likely, but certainly
possible.
