So, I have RHEL, but don't have CentOS, so the things I authoritatively know we deal with (many of these may already be in CentOS): RHEL-4 ====== redhat-rpm-config rhn-applet rhnlib rpm rpmdb-redhat up2date RHEL-5 ====== createrepo redhat-rpm-config rhn-client-tools rhnlib rhnsd rpm yum yum-metadata-parser yum-rhn-plugin yum-updatesd yum-utils Common to both RHEL versions ============================ redhat-rpm-config rhnlib rpm Specific to just the RHN Tools channels in RHN ============================================== auto-kickstart jabberpy osad rhn-custom-info rhn-kickstart rhn-virtualization rhncfg rhnmd rhns-certs-tools Thanks.
