Up2date can be trivially configured to pull packages from yum
repositories.
Red Hat just released RHEL 4.5 with some important fixes to up2date for
bugs I found a while back. ($releasever improperly hardcoded to 3...
hmmm, testing anybody?)
For the Dell yum repositories, I have the 'dell-repository' RPM, which
will automatically add both yum and up2date configs.
