Keep in mind that if you depend on this, you'll only get the updates
pertinant to the RHN-connected system.  For example, if your RHN-connected
system doesn't have MySQL, but your "offline" system does, you won't ever
get the updated MySQL RPM, if one comes out.

Probably a better solution would be to mirror the pertinant directory from
updates.redhat.com.  Then occasionally run "rpm -Fvh". (actually, you may
want to run "rpm -Fvh --test" first, to see what's going to be updated.)
