[tools] Redhat Client Config with MREPO

[John Scherff]

Thanks for the clarification.  Actually, I don't comment out "up2date
default" on the mrepo server at all.  I only comment this out on the RHN
clients that pull updates from mrepo.

	Here's a start for the client-configuration.txt document:
	
	1.2. Add the following lines to /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources (one
line for
	each channel) to instruct up2date to use the internal repository
server


 

	 

	# up2date default <- removed for mrepo
	# other comments ...
	yum base http://mrepo.abc.com/mrepo/rhel4es-$ARCH/RPMS.os/
	yum updates
http://mrepo.abc.com/mrepo/rhel4es-$ARCH/RPMS.updates/ 
	yum extras http://mrepo.abc.com/mrepo/rhel4es-$ARCH/RPMS.extras/



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
