Please note that for a RHEL4 server that's also  pulling  packages from RHN,
you'll need to temporarily put back the "up2date default" line while mrepo
is downloading the packages. My daily /etc/cron.daily/mrepo does:

$ cat /etc/cron.daily/mrepo
#! /bin/sh -
#
mv /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources.$$
echo up2date default > /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
/usr/bin/mrepo -q -ug
mv /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources.$$ /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
